The AUD$2575.00 bezel insert

[milov]

Nope, it is not for a vintage rolex.

I have been trying to get my hands on a replacement bezel insert for a Bell & Ross type marine quartz diver.

This should have been simple enough. I dropped the watch off with the Sydney AD Hardy Brothers, (who have been helpful). They, in turn, got a price from the Bell & Ross authorised service agent in Perth, All About Time.

So the quote eventually came back to me at $2575.00.

I've since been in touch with Bell & Ross HQ in Paris who told me the cost of a new bezel insert is 179 Euros (AUD$285).

Someone is trying to play me for a chump.

My next step is to see if I can bypass Perth and get one from Paris directly.

Go back to your AD and tell them

Hi Kosta, yeah I've done that. They have been helpful (if not embarrassed by the response from the service agent).

I've even forwarded them my responses from B&R Paris.

I'll be in Paris myself in July. So I expect that is where and how I will eventually resolve this issue.
