I know, I know.....this one's been done before; but with the number of new guys on.....what the heck. Let's have some fun!!

Do you fiddle around a lot with your bezel, very seldom or never.

Vote with comments please!!

Thanks - JJ

colemanitis · 30 May 2008, 04:00 AM

Every now and then, but not on a regular basis.

Chris B · 30 May 2008, 04:10 AM

Only when I give the watch a clean, just to make sure it's ok, other than that I never think of it.

seantk · 30 May 2008, 04:11 AM

I give mine a few turns everyday. My wife thinks I am winding my watch

No fiddling here - at least not with bezels!!!

Magik · 30 May 2008, 04:21 AM

I constantly check for alignment, and move it if I need to. I can't stand when it's misaligned.

roadcarver · 30 May 2008, 04:42 AM

I fiddle with the bezel all the time. Its almost like fidgeting. Also use it to time when I'm cooking something if I'm not wearing a chronograph.

duxdrummer · 30 May 2008, 04:48 AM

I check the alignment occasionally... Top dead center seems to be in between two "clicks"

PhilM · 30 May 2008, 04:58 AM

If it can move, I play with it

Talkin' 'bout a bezel, are ya Phil?!?

KLM · 30 May 2008, 05:07 AM

I actually use mine to time stuff pretty frequently. Bike rides, watering the yard, any excuse I can find!

Cooking and parking meters are ideal opportunities for a little bezel-twistin.

kcmo · 30 May 2008, 05:25 AM

No fiddling for me! I think I've used the bezel on my sub twice since I've had it (2 yrs this Aug)!

jimbones43 · 30 May 2008, 05:39 AM

Never touched the bezel on my sub in almost 2 years. I'm afraid I'll mess it up. Silly huh??

You are averaging 40 posts a day...mind-boggling. But I do look forward to reading them..

warrenmich · 30 May 2008, 06:03 AM

Cooking and Timeouts for my Daughter! LOL Ususally once a week.

I don't cook alot and I have a GREAT Daughter!!

mcubed · 30 May 2008, 06:24 AM

I use my bezel to time stuff about once a day or more, usually dinner, or when to call someone back, etc. and (gasp) I usually just leave it at the last timing position.

It is actually really useful

DSJ · 30 May 2008, 06:28 AM

I use mine for parking meters, timing food cooking, sprinkler in the yard, and even diving!

Although Bluesy hasn't seen salt water yet...

You are averaging 40 every two years and, trust me, you have more posts that make sense than JJ ever will.

SPACE-DWELLER · 30 May 2008, 06:30 AM

Hardly ever touch it. Only when I am in the mood.

Green Sub · 30 May 2008, 06:37 AM

Use the bezel on the YM and LV to track billable time for my clients invoices.

These watches have got to generate some kind of income.

Dan Pierce · 30 May 2008, 06:50 AM

YES!

I find a rotating bezel a must for both work and home. Setting timezones, deliveries, meetings, parking meters, timing pizza, grilling steaks, and about a hundred other uses.

My name is Dan and I'm a bezel fiddler.
