BLNR Bezel: Horizontal vs Vertical which looks better?

[mikeceee]

Simple question. Black on top Blue on bottom or Black/blue side by side

[mikeceee]

Or

[JustABreathAway]

Black on top, by a country mile

[ltmgeller]

Black over blue

[Im Lauf der Zeit]

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

[mikeceee]

Does it change your mind this way?

[Time Exposure]

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

[jjnd08]

This won't be close.

Horizontal.

[kilyung]

I actually prefer it positioned as intended with use.

[Matt C]

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

[fishingbear]

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

[SWISSAHOLICS]

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

[CWIN]

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

[tkerrmd]

Black on top

[HogwldFLTR]

Aligned to where ever you are for time zone.

[AZDJII]

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

[Memcwhirter]

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

[lapince]

I prefer it on mine with the triangle on top

[T. Ferguson]

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.

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

I have the 24 hour hand set to my reference time, which is Mountain time. My hour hand is set to the local time, which is also Mountain time, but when I travel outside the time zone, the hour hand will be set to the local time whatever that is.

The bezel is set so that the hour hand shows GMT, which I would change if traveling to show home time.

In other words, the placement of the bezel has nothing to do with cosmetics.

[Loevhagen]

I like to alter the position sometimes - just for the heck off aesthetics / cosmetics. I am a simple guy - not a world traveller nor pilot - so I place it how I want it regardless of "the right tool use". :)

Looking good with that black strap!

Is that a Hirsch?

Indeed. Hirsch viscount alligator without endlinks.

[crowncollection]

Looks good any angle IMHO. Just use it, that's is a pleasing thing to me, the fact I am using it for what it was intended.

omg

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.
