The attraction of the rotating bezel?

[emt1581]

I'm used to wearing very simple watches without a lot of bells & whistles or bling. This is why I ended up buying a blue DJ. It's perfect for letting me mark the time and date with all of my patients on paperwork which I need to do throughout the day.

However, I notice that the vast majority of those sharing pics here, and even the Rolexes I see people wearing in public, are models like the submariner, sea dweller, etc. that have the rotating bezel. Now for divers, I can understand their utility. But I'd bet that the majority of us that own Rolexes with rotating bezels have never and will never use them. Then I see talk of Hulk, Pepsi, Batman, etc. and it leads me to believe these models are appreciated more for their aesthetics than functionality. Is that the attraction?

Not sure if the DJ will be my first or only Rolex. Maybe if I consider it enough and allow the rotating bezel models to grow on me, I'll pick one up. Just trying to learn about the rationale for the sake of my Rolex education.

Please share your thoughts. Thanks!
