Hi. :D Im new to the forum and I got some questions regarding my navi. I got a stainless steel with a silver dial and I plan to add things to it. Are the second/minute/hour hands silver or are they stainless steel? I plan to change the bezel and the hands to gold to become a 2 tone watch. To me it makes no difference but should I keep the watch as is or go and make the changes. I would appreiciate the repsonses.

Thanks

PS. I read in the forum about who wears their watch above or below their writ so I thought I go and say I wear mine above the wrist but on the right hand

Welcome to the forums - from someone who actually knows where Brampton is :lol:

I would leave the hands and bezel alone if I were you - if you don't then Breitling will replace them with the normal ones when you get it serviced - hands are single use anyway.

I believe they are steel rather than silver.

thanks for the welcomes. I have a follow up to my question about my watch. See I couldn't afford to get the gold version so I got the stainless steel go from there. so my question is is it possible to change the bezel to gold and if so how much

Same answer as before, Breitling will change it back if you do when you send it for service. I guess you could buy a separate gold bezel and swap it back to steel before sending it in for servicing, but Breitling are rather anal about this stuff. You might be able to find an AD to order you a gold bezel - they certainly can if they are an authorised repairer, but the question would be if they would seel you just a gold bezel and screws - I'm not sure.

No idea on price, but because it would have to be through Breitling it wouldn't be cheap.
