I've never heard of one, and it doesn't really make sense - the slide rule bezel doesn't have anywhere to put diamonds, except maybe the side.

I've seen it, aftermarket of course. The way they did it on this guy's was horrible because the bezel wouldn't turn after. Definately ugly because it sticks out.

Why do you think it wouldn't turn?

That's what I was thinking - it would be like a plate on the top - not very attractive, and if the bezel doesn't turn that kinda defeats the object.

I don't THINK it wouldn't turn, it DIDN't turn. Like I said, I don't know who did it for him and how. The guy came in asking how much it was worth, I looked at it, gave it back smiling and politely saying that he will have to get it appraised and I couldn't give him a price due to aftermarket parts.

Thanks for the replies fellas. Is it only a few of them that you can have the custom diamond bezel as well?

Define custom...

If you are talking about aftermarket, Im sure it can be done for any of them.

If you are talking diamond bezel from Breitling, than you have Super Avenger, Chronomat, and Cockpit to choose from current lineup.

I think the charm of the Navitimers is lost when you start blinging it up. That is ugly IMO. Might as well just bedazzle it! :P

That Navi looks absolutely hideous with diamonds IMO. The understated class of the Navi totally ruined by "bling me up" rocks. A crime against horology!

Never been a fan of watches with diamonds. (Except womens watches as diamonds are their best friends.) IMO To violate such a iconic piece as any of the Navitimers with diamonds is a sacrilege.
