Recently joined the Rolex club with a new 114060 which is amazing.😃
Whilst playing with the bezel, I wondered what other uses (other than timing) people had devised? I've just realised that by mentally numbering the bezel from 1-12 (1 being the triangle), I can track a second time zone!! Who need a GMT II? Lol

I use the bezel for keeping track of how long I water my roses in the warm weather. With twenty-two roses at ten minutes each the bezel gets a lot of action on the weekends in the summer.

yes, congrats.

MCO1 · 11 March 2017, 01:37 AM

Congrats! Along with a timer I use mine as a counter such as tracking laps at the gym or other items where I need to keep track numbers.

mjclark32 · 11 March 2017, 01:41 AM

Congrats!
I use mine all the time, grilling/watering/parking meter/waiting for the Mrs etc etc

albmich · 11 March 2017, 04:24 AM

You can also use any analog watch as a compass (to point north) and the bezel can assist you w this. I don't remember how but google it and you'll easily find it.

thesharkfactor · 11 March 2017, 05:24 AM

Pirmary use for my bezel is an oven/cooking timer.

SeaDweller50 · 11 March 2017, 05:46 AM

I do not use mine in order to prevent unnecessary wear and tear.

LOL. Really?

I just loved the no-date look.
I use the bezel to indicate the date

Dan Pierce · 11 March 2017, 06:43 AM

How much time you got? See, there's one use right there.

Yeah, I found parking meter usage to be the most handy.

Time things all the time. Calling in food, they say 20 minutes, I turn the bezel etc.

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.

la79 · 11 March 2017, 07:07 AM

I use mine to grate cheese and sometimes as a bottle opener

Great idea :)

Punchthefatkid · 11 March 2017, 07:33 AM

I always think the bezel police will come and arrest me if the triangle is not set at exactly 12...lol

Arclight · 11 March 2017, 07:43 AM

Cooking and parking meters.

Formulansx · 11 March 2017, 07:49 AM

Set it in advance so I know when to take my beer out of the freezer

Great watch, enjoy! In my opinion, it might make more sense to mentally number the triangle as 12. But, whatever works for you.

Yup, that.

thesharkfactor · 11 March 2017, 08:52 AM

Whenever I get kidnapped and tied up, I use the motorised spinning bezel saw blade function to cut through twine. Have also found the electromagnet complication (click clockwise) handy for bullet deflection and undoing birds' dress zippers..

Do you mean pointing towards the car from the door of the mall?
Interesting.

Golfster · 11 March 2017, 10:29 AM

I use the bezel to make it easier to tell the time. I no longer have to count the dots, ex, 2 dots = 10 after - the bezel shows the 10. This works great up to the 30. After that, I need quick math to tell how much before the hour. Ex, the hand points to the 40, I say 60 minutes - 40 = 20 minutes to the hour. Who needs an Apple Watch with this technology? ��. :)
