New BCE TT, Bezel Problem

[ispolef]

I just received a BCE TT with white dial...the watch looks perfect except that the bezel looks to be 2-3 mm off from center...Should I go back to the person I purchased it from? or is it an easy fix?

you know it's a rotating bezel right ?

[ispolef]

maybe a pic will help

I actually thought that...but the bezel didnt budge....I tried again, by using more force and it did turn...its really stiff, but it worked...thanks

I hope you weren't trying to move the bezel clockwise

I hope you weren't trying to move the bezel clockwise

as he said.. It's a unidirectional rotating bezel.. do a full turn to align it back !

oh and please, read the recommendation on this site about 7750 before using it ! Don't kill such a nice watch !

Indeed, you can only turn it to the left! CHECK THIS.

I was turning it counter clock wise...it was still a lil stiff, but I can look past that..the watch is perfect otherwise.

Is this the ultimate? IO thoguht they stopped making white dials.

They stopped making the SS white dial version....

I could not find the BCE version of TT dial and case with SS bracelet (not TT) in the breitling website or in their recent (including 2007) catalogs. I guess this model exists? Maybe it is new? Anybody knows?

My local Breitling AD prices and sells the watch and bracelet or strap separately. Believe it or not, they'd be perfectly happy to take your money for any combination of colors or styles of watch and bracelet/strap you like.

They have all the variations here:

Most Breitling models right off the bat have at least 2 or 3 strap/bracelet choices.

Thank you guys, you're right. Probably the non TT bracelet is a bit cheaper (at least the gen). The black/gold with SSB looks like a nice piece to me. Of course I agree about the AD happy to sell any combination as long as you pay the price

The TT bracelet adds about $1000 to the price, so I'd imagine a few people opt out.
