The Breitling Watch Source Forums

The bezel on my a17330 Avenger Seawolf was rotating freely. So I took the bezel off and sure enough the little tab the locks into the set hole(s) is broken off. Since I have it a part I took the time to give it a good cleaning, polish and, scotched the brushed areas. It looks great again. Problem is that it's in a box waiting from me to track down a bezel spring.

Do you guys have any recommendation on where to get an a17330 bezel spring?

Thanks

Parts are very rarely available outside of Breitling, your best bet will be to go through an AD.

Called my AD today to figured out my options and he said that Breitling would not ship the part and that I'd have to send it in. He also said that it would require a full service because they would not just fix the bezel. I did call a second AD in town but their person I needed to talk with was tied up with a customer. I hoping they'll call me back tomorrow....otherwise I follow up.

All that said does what the first AD told me sound normal?

Try calling JD Watchworks in San Fran. He's an authorized Breitling Service Center. He might fix the spring without a service.
