Replacement bezel for Breitling Colt

[shadowninja]

I've been trying to figure out how to replace the rotating diver's bezel with a "standard" bezel for a more dressy feel. Where could I get something made? Does anyone know a business (or handyman) in Surrey who could manufacture something for me?

Does anyone have any suggestions about replacing the bezel with something more dressy? :)

If you can get a new bezel, having it milled smooth shouldn't be too hard for a machine shop. The rider tab screw holes might still be visible though.

Is this for that old Quartz Colt you picked up here a few years back - the one you used to wear on a H4H NATO? I'd give Adam Philips a ring; he says that he can make bezels:

Thanks for the replies, yes, that's right, the bezel catches on shirts so I thought I'd see what I could do about it.

Interesting mod - wonder if it's been done before?

Any way of finding out?

He quoted £300. :(

Oh, bugger.

Yeah, I paid that for the watch.

Decided to try to find someone who does 3d printing. :D
