went to use my Bezel ... dissapointed it was the top of the Hour :(

I like using my Sub bezel to time things ... twice today I went to use the Bezel and it was the Top Of the Hour.

so, I didn't get to turn it and hear that wonderful sound.

Anyone else a child like me?

When that happens to me I always turn it a full 360 degrees just to assure accuracy!

Use the bezel to time how long it's been since you checked your bezel.

A rotating bezel is a many-splendored thing.

You mean some of you actually turn the bezel on watches like the subs,I always thought they were left permanently lined up within a cats whisker of the 12 o'clock triangle.
