Bezel Protector

Does anyone still use the Bezel Protector when putting away their Watch

It’s in the box. Once it was off, it was never put back on.

Too much work. Although, I could see someone inventing a clear plastic/glass-type protector for bezel similar to what we use to protect our smart phone screens.

Would you use one if it were undetectable by the baked eye?

My eyes are always baked... seems like a great idea though.

Hi Bobby,

As I got older I found it too hard to walk around keeping my wrist horizontal so no I don’t use them any more.

Why would anyone feel the need to use a bezel protector most end up in the ADs bin at point of sale.They are only there to protect the watch on its journey from factory to the various ADs world wide.Much like the plastic on say a bedding mattress torn off and binned before use.

If and only if the box is moving. Otherwise it's a bit of a moot point.

I mean even then..

Agree mate same here myself wear the watch and not the sticky back plastic or feel the need to use a bezel protector. Its a watch meant to be worn and not wrapped in plastic and pampered,after all Rolex are one of the most robust mechanical watches made today.But with many today they get such a pampered life wrapped up in cotton wool, with special resting cloths, and watch stands,special brushes,special cleaning cloths and cleaners the list is endless today.

I keep the bezel protector with the box and papers and since I do not store my watches in their original box, I never see the thing once the watch is purchased and the accessories put away.

My watches sit in their coffins with the protector on when not in use. Why not.
