Uses for the Sub bezel

[BristolCavendish]

For those so inclined, it can also serve as a reminder (hour specific) for taking certain 'meds'.

Point the minute hand at the sun and the hour hand will point North

Man, I have to check to make sure I locked the back door a zillion times during the day. There's no way I'd convince myself of whether I'd already turned the bezel one click every morning.

When I wake up in the middle of the night, the dot helps me tell what time it is without too much thinking.

I use it to time waits at restaurants, How long my BBQ has been on the grill, How much time I have for metered parking, and the list goes on!

I did see something on TRF where a guy commmented that he turns the bezel to point the triangle at the door of a busy mall. That way when he comes out it's pointing towards his car... not a bad idea.

Yeah I came here to write the same thing, I actually used this trick after reading about it, pretty cool

Interesting.

No, (well you could do it however you want) when you get out of your car point the pip at the door of the mall or entrance to amusement park etc. When you walk out of the mall the pip will be pointing towards your car

You were never a Boy Scout, right.

Having a Solid Gold Bezel, I do feel entitled sometimes...

I just move it around to a location that makes me happy at that time...

I use it to track the time between threads asking about a Coke GMT.

Brilliant, I love the humour on this site

Very funny thread!!

Apparently, and this may well be complete BS, divers use the bezel to record elapsed time when submerged, in order to keep track of O2 usage.

Sure you don't use it to keep track of de-compression too??

Nope and with years of camping 12 miles from from the nearest paved Rd I have never needed a compass. I guess I got it wrong.

Minor detail. Don't worry about it. No one is going to use their watch as a compass these days. If they need to, they deserve to eat it IMHO

No problem. I'm mostly fascinated by using it to find my car!! That's epic right there. I'm horrible at directions even if it's within 300 yards!

That's what the red button on the key fob is for silly!

Now you tell me!!

I use it frequently to know when it's time to go pick up my pizza :)

Wouldn't this depend if you are wearing the watch on your right or left hand?

On another note, I've noticed on loevhagen's Instagram page (great pictures) he usually has the triangle on the 20. Any specific reasons for this?

[phalen302]

I use it to track my performance in the bed

[Rolex time is money]

Always use my bezel as a month indicator.

What difference would it make in regards to wearing one's watch on the right (or left) wrist?

If you put that much effort into triangulating the position of your car in relation to the mall door...you'll actually remember where it is parked, with our without the help of a bezel!
