Black over blue

How about whichever way makes the bezel useful for setting a different time zone?

This. If you aren't using the second time zone, there is little point in this watch.

Meh - I removed the GMT-hand to transform it to an ordinary watch, just to keep the amazing blue bezel insert.

And, I removed the gaskets at the crown of my Submariner since I don't dive much either.

Heck, just remove all the hands and make your watches into really cool bracelets.

That would be the ultimate in cool--a man who appreciates exquisite mechanisms, but has not need for the time of day.

Black over blue, represents the horizon at daybreak and nightfall.

mikeceee · 1 October 2014, 10:21 AM

Does it change your mind this way?

Time Exposure · 1 October 2014, 10:25 AM

Black on top. What's that big triangle thingy on it?
Yeah.Top Dead Center.

Of course, this.

This won't be close.

Horizontal.

I actually prefer it positioned as intended with use.

Yup. When I travel I just spin the bezel to indicate local time on the gmt hand. I don't like fussing with the movement and this is easier anyway. When abroad I like to have my local home time on the watch hands. The blue for day black for night of this bezel is a very nice feature when using the bezel this way. Definitely the way it should have been from the beginning and the perfection of the GMT bezel in my opinion. When not needing local time abroad it goes back to 24 hour mark at the top so I can read GMT for work.

Matt C · 1 October 2014, 10:29 AM

Black on top, blue on the bottom for me too!

fishingbear · 1 October 2014, 10:30 AM

In what ever position the bezel is functioning for its purpose.

SWISSAHOLICS · 1 October 2014, 10:35 AM

That's why you stick with all black bezels....clears up the confusion and no polls needed

CWIN · 1 October 2014, 10:42 AM

Black on top unless I'm actually using the bezel to determine the time in a different zone.

tkerrmd · 1 October 2014, 10:53 AM

Black on top

HogwldFLTR · 1 October 2014, 10:56 AM

Aligned to where ever you are for time zone.

AZDJII · 1 October 2014, 12:04 PM

Black on the top - unless using the 3rd time zone function.

Memcwhirter · 1 October 2014, 12:10 PM

Tried side by side today and did not keep it like that for long.

lapince · 1 October 2014, 02:37 PM

I prefer it on mine with the triangle on top

T. Ferguson · 1 October 2014, 02:41 PM

Given the hour hands on my watch are synched to home time as the default I prefer the bezel marker straight up at 12 o'clock.

Rusty888 · 1 October 2014, 03:21 PM

Mine is slightly off centre but it's for a reason. I think it looks best. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1412140866.701527.jpg
