honest mistake i'd rather him call his bezel a dial and actually appreciate his watch than post asking how much more it'll be worth in 10 years.

Not that it matters much, but I never understand 1675s, 16750s and 16700s where the bezel never moves, you could have paid a lot less for a 16570 if that's what you wanted.

I think it’s just you!
However, if it doesn’t bother you wear it the way you want to!

When it's that far off, it tells me it's used.

But when monsters do this, it's a different story

I’ve been meaning to have a word with about your failure to return your bezel to the 12:00 position after use.

Many nights I have stayed up well past 3:00 AM gnashing my teeth and pounding my forehead against the floor as I repeated ask my self “WHY? WHY CAN’T HE FIX IT!?”

Seriously, it’s ruining my life.
It's a crazy feeling

This I love as I was thinking the exact same thing. At first I was staring at the watch face trying to work out if it was misaligned or if I needed my eyes testing.

Don’t take it the wrong way.
It’s all just a bit of fun, no malice behind it.

All good thanks. A bit embarrassing I got that so wrong, but hey! Just didn’t think before typing.

Gasp, here goes another question. How much bezel turning can it take? Is there something that wears out when you turn the bezel too often and too much? Seriously curious. Go easy guys

Yeah sorry that got way too much press. I noticed you mentioned attention to detail so I had to rib you.

Yeah I think the bezel can wear out. I spin mine for fun so I'll let you know when I blow it out. Haha
