It has taken me awhile to learn to use my gut and not my head. My head kept saying, "it's too big, too thick, doesn't have a 'fancy' modern movement," etc. But the gut was constantly saying, "it's goshdang perfect. I want that."

I think some people train themselves to read 24-hour time on against a dial without reference numerals. Some can quickly glance at the hand's position and go, "almost 19:00" the way most do the same with a 12 hour hand.

If that's not how you work, the premium options open up more since a rotating bezel will do what you need.

You're right about GS. It's a shame their more compact GMT's have fixed bezels. It's the biggest complaint I have about what used to be my favorite watch.

Unless you like to read the 24-hour hand based on dial position (like we naturally do with the 12 hour hand), I find a rotating 24-hour bezel gives you the "caller" functionality with less fuss
