Uses for the rotating bezel

[capoots]

In another thread, Mike said. "I will admit that on a day to day basis the rotating bezel of the LV has more usefullness for me." I was curious as to what some of those uses are? What do you use your bezel for. I dont use mine at all, so I must be missing out.

Timing stuff like:

-Diving time (of course)
-Meat on grill
-Poaching eggs
-Pasta cooking
-Parking meter
-siesta length
-how long it takes to finish a bottle of wine
-....or a six pack
-how long 'til pizza is here
-in JJ's case: how long it takes to flip a Rolex

...and so on!

Here is a great link to the use of the GMT bezel as a compass:

It's on German, but I guess you can work through it.

All the things Gerado said plus in my case court breaks, getting a jury in and out on time etc....

I tried timing how long my wife could talk without taking a breath, but I had to get a GMT!

in most cases, that timing (female non-stop talking) requires a perpetual calendar

Timing mine would definitely require a watch with a date feature

But I use mine all day long. From cooking, to timing my lunch break to see how much longer I have to spend in the gym, parking meters, laps, pretty much everything

[leopardprey]

How long on internet.
Swimming
Work out sessions
Running
Flight times
Cooking

Many different things.

....and lastly to know how long we can "STAND" on bed.

It's the bezel that makes you "STAND" longer simply because it's still below 5 minutes mark.

I use mine when I go shopping at a megamall and park way out in the middle of nowhere.

I get out of my car and stand at the back swide of it and face the store head on. Then I look for the entrance which is usualy off to one side. Then I rotate the bezel so that the inverted triangle points towards the mall doors.

When I come out of the mall I face straight ahead of look at my watch. The inverted triangle will face towards my car and I can use it like a compass, walking in that direction and finding the car.

Woerks like a charm every time.

That's a good idea

I use it on a daily basis. You can time just about anything and it's a lot classier than a $5 Casio...I use it to time workouts. To assist when grilling. I use it to keep track of golf strokes. Measure time when traveling. I coach football and time our practice sessions (usually 10 mins. per station). Of course, there are the many traditional functions when diving (Scuba and muff).

[roadcarver]

I use mine to:

-time pasta cooking
-time cooking my steaks
-time the ride to work
-fiddle with it on occassion

[ohlins]

dun use it at all....

[Solo118]

Wow now I wish I had a rotating bezel to use as a count down, Chronographs are mostly used to count up

[JJ Irani]

Funnily, I never use my bezels. The Sub bezel remains fixed with the little triangle bang on '12' and the Exp-II bezel makes me very happy with its beautiful brushed finish and fixed position.
