Noticing subtle differences

I can't believe it took me so long to notice the difference in the 0-15 ticks and the 15-60 ticks on this bezel, it is so subtle, and I am so used to seeing so many divers with either ONLY marks on 0-15 or uniform marks around the whole bezel.

Wow, I'm disappointed in you guys, lolssssss.
This has been like this since only about 2008 when the Deepsea came out with this bezel.
If it had been a snake.....
Well, ultimately better late than never, now you know and knowing is half the battle...

I believe those first 15 minute markers are taller by design....for diving purposes.

You also only have 3 ticks from 15-55 and then back to 4 from 56-59

Exactly that its used to time a safety stop at around 5 meters before returning to surface.

Not difficult to spot at all at first glance. What is disturbing, the missing minute markers on the bezel form 15 to 55.
