New Rolex Patent Application This Week for a Watch Case Rotating Bezel
It looks like we may have a new form of GMT coming perhaps ...

Check out the new patent application from August 13th - http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20150227113

I think this one might work together with it too - Patent application title: TIME PIECE CAPABLE OF DISPLAYING TWO TIME ZONES
http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20140321247

Pretty exciting

Maybe its a way to independently set the GMT hand using the bezel vs. using the crown. This would allow for a much quicker adjustment.

Looks like it could be a world timer to me actually with the ring command setting the world time zones and second time zone via the crown wouldn't that be great

Dang, they beat me to it! I really must stop procrastinating so much, or I'll never get credit for any creative ideas. Back to the drawing board!!!
