Internal rotating bezels...are they the devil, Bobby Boucher?
Traska has fast-tracked to the top of my list of favorite micros. Bought all three available models that restocked a couple of weeks back. Next up would be the Venturer GMT.
I SO SO SO love the appearance BUT every single watch I have owned with an internal rotating bezel just irks the crap out of my OCD. Bend your wrist, the bezel moves. The wind blows, the bezel moves. WHY?!?!?!?!

Have three Alpinists, I can get behind a rotating bezel.
I have never owned or even tried one. I'd have to feel it to make an opinion.
Haven't owned, but these are the only ones I want..don't think they will rotate in you.
The only watch I have had with an internal bezel was the Seiko SARB017 Alpinist and here is my take. I liked the cool little complication, I hated the 3 and 4:30 crowns and I hated the fact it didn’t lock in place; I found myself constantly resetting due north to 12:00. If it were a locking bezel with symmetrical crowns I think I’d love it eg. JLC’s dive watch
I've got the RZE Resolute Supercompressor (bit of a long name). The crown at 2 moves the internal bezel (black part with numbers) but it disengages as you screw it down, and the bezel is locked into place.
Only issue is finding the right place to start screwing it down so the disengage is as close to centered as you can.
Not as easy for quick changes, but works for me to keep track of a 2nd timezone when I need to.
