Chronomat B01 bezel screws

[fabianuzzo1990]

Hi folks, pretty new to breitling but i recently bought a great B01 two tone.
Yesterday I was wondering if bezel screws where properly tightened so I tried to act on them with a screw driver, but I found they all rotate freely and are just kept in place from I don't know why (maybe glue?) so that while rotating one of them it simply came off and I put it back in place with a tad of glue.
looking on the net I can't find a reply, just a lot of articles on the older chromat, is that correct that these screws are just unthreaded caps??

Yes friend, this screws are fake just for decoration

thanks mate, but this happens also on gen B01? any solutions to keep them safely attached? I'm not sure ho much is a pain to remove the bezel to work with it on this model

The difference between the gen and rep bezels are that the rep:
Is pressed onto the "chimney" of the mid case. It is not intended to be removed.
​The screws are just screw heads for decorative purposes.
The click spring can be quite different in design or thickness

The gen bezel :
Is placed over the click spring and chimney.
It is secured around the chimney using the tiny screws which have "loctite red" thread locking solution on them.
The screws extend into a 2nd spring (for retention) under an inner flange, preventing the bezel from lifting off.
The bezel can be removed for maintenance.

Had the same problem and lost the 9:00 mark piece when the screw fell out...No idea where to get that replaced...looks terrible now, but its a great watch otherwise
