First place to go to is to contact your dealer. They should be able to source you some spares.

Second place to go is to look on the Bay, but those are likely genuine parts.

How exactly did the marker fall from the bezel?Did you apply extreme force on it or did you hit it somewhere?I had the impression that the bezel was made of solid metal and not simply parts glued together... Do you have any pics from the damaged bezel???

Most Breitling bezels come with detachable rider tabs; the only one's where the entire bezel is a solid piece of metal is the SFSO.

I find the rider tabs on mine are loose all the time these days, I tighten them but a few days later they are loose again. Looks like I am not the only one with this problem by the sounds of things.

I don't own a BCE, but I suggest loctite on those screws that hold the rider tabs..

That's what you get with low-quality screws...

The threads easily wear with use. You can either loctite them or order some higher quality screws from supply houses.

Ok, I feel the need to be VERY specific here..

We are talking watches... which have very soft screws for just about every part compared to industrial and automotive objects...

Therefore,

When someone says "Loctite" I have to say there is ONLY ONE grade of Loctite to use on your time piece, and then only for external screws and sometimes, if your very careful, tubes and crowns...

That is LOCTITE 222..

OK?

I just noticed that my marker at 15 is loose. The screw seems to be as tight as it is going to get. Any one have any idea how to secure it another besides the screw?
