I make a living doing computer service on a time and material bases only. No contracts, just billable time. Today was the inaugural for my YM to start doing work duty.

OMG - This is great. No longer do I have to jot down on a piece of paper when the billable call starts. Just rotate the bezel. I must have used it 4 times today.

So does your bezel just collect lint or do you use it often?

greck · 18 March 2008, 01:04 PM

It depends. When I'm traveling, I use the bezel to adjust from GMT depending on what time zone I'm in. When I'm at home it stays set at GMT +1.

I only have Rolexes with the second timezone feature and I don't need to use them unless I travel into other timezones.

When Im at home, the 4th hand on my watch is only an AM/PM or 24 hour indicator.

i don't use mine,my old seamaster bezel doesn't even turn anymore.

Dan Pierce · 18 March 2008, 09:49 PM

Yes, I use the bezel as a simple timer everyday.

A moveable bezel is a great feature.

Actually, the GMT bezel works just fine.

I see!

I meant the Sub, instead of the GMT function! I don´t travel to different time zones very often.
