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

mikeceee · 1 October 2014, 10:14 AM

Or

JustABreathAway · 1 October 2014, 10:17 AM

Black on top, by a country mile

ltmgeller · 1 October 2014, 10:17 AM

Black over blue

Im Lauf der Zeit · 1 October 2014, 10:20 AM

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

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.

jjnd08 · 1 October 2014, 10:26 AM

This won't be close.

Horizontal.

kilyung · 1 October 2014, 10:27 AM

I actually prefer it positioned as intended with use.

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

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 · 1 October 2014, 03:59 PM

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 · 1 October 2014, 05:59 PM

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.

Vincent65 · 1 October 2014, 06:38 PM

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.
