I notice that the triangle on the bezel is almost always indexed at 12 o'clock in the pics posted here; I have also noticed that most folks keep it that way when wearing in public as well.

I use my bezels on my SD and sub as coarse timers very frequently, and just leave them wherever they end up after timing an event. Accordingly, they are almost never at the 12 o'clock position. Does this make me some kind of freak?

No that does not, however the fact that you are on this forum with the rest of us......

Absolutely. Just like the rest of us freaks.

I always return mine to 12 when I'm finished using mine.

ratmotortom · 11 April 2008, 11:22 PM

I usually return mine to the top center. I thought I was a freak !

Scarface · 11 April 2008, 11:23 PM

I usually leave mine at 50. Don't ask the logic of this, for some strange reason I like it there

frostie · 11 April 2008, 11:35 PM

It doesn't make you a freak it just makes you a man that uses the feature of his watch which in my own perspective is really cool

redshirt1957 · 11 April 2008, 11:48 PM

I hold the bezel stationary and turn the watch when I need a timer.

What was your point about freaks?

'freak' is a harsh term. why not, 'lunatic' or 'fanatic' or 'maniac' or.....well you get my drift.

best,

Bobareno · 12 April 2008, 02:03 AM

The Bezel TURNS? Just kidding.

JPP · 12 April 2008, 03:33 AM

I think it's brilliant you actually use the bezel for timing stuff. I have turned my SD bezel...ummm...twice in 6 months. Just goes to show how we use them for what they're designed for! Hehehehe

JJ Irani · 12 April 2008, 03:36 AM

We have another bezel fiddler, guys!!

Bobareno · 12 April 2008, 03:59 AM

Is it okay to fiddle with your Bezel in front of your Ad?

Tools · 12 April 2008, 04:19 AM

I guess technically the bezel is completely independent from the dial, so it really doesn't matter much...

It's just the obsessive compulsive problems many of us have, and how tidy it looks at the top.

meloncap78 · 12 April 2008, 04:26 AM

Great question. I use mine only when I order food from say a pizza joint. They will kindly tell me my order will be ready to pick up in 20 minutes to a half an hour. I then set my bezel accordingly. I pick my orders up mostly. Think of all the tip money you can save toward a new watch!! Cheers.

juneja · 12 April 2008, 10:43 AM

Freak.

Letsgodiving · 12 April 2008, 10:51 AM

I'm one of those 12 o'clock weirdo's. If it is not right on 12 it sort of niggles at me. In the regular world you are the normal one and I'm the freak. That's why I hang out here so much. Crazy likes company.

Mrdi · 12 April 2008, 10:52 AM

I keep trying to return to 12
but I keep getting lost at 7 or 8

meloncap78 · 12 April 2008, 11:35 AM

You know it!!!!

BuffaloRolex · 12 April 2008, 12:12 PM

Definitely bugs the hell outta me if it's not at 12...

Andad · 12 April 2008, 03:11 PM

I use mine for timing parking meters so the bezel could be be at any setting.
