Do you ever set the bezel on your diver for a personal reason?

Usually if I’m going to store a watch/not wear it for a while I’ll put the bezel on 43 because my father passed away and that’s the year he was born.

I also keep one watch on the unit number I had in the Navy.

Do you do this? I hope other people do this sort of thing. 🌈

Very sorry to hear about your father, that’s a fantastic ritual to have, marking the start of a life well lived.

Wonderful loving tribute ❤️

I’m way too OCD to have my Bezel anywhere other than pointing straight up at 12 o’clock!

That’s how I am when I am wearing the watch.

I don't, but it's a cool idea.

Have heard of folks using the bezel as a date indicator.

Like the memorial idea, very cool. 👌🏻

I leave the bezel at its last setting, until I need to move it again for something. Or when I pick it up, give it a random spin just because.

For any GMT/2nd TimeZone bezels, they stay at the TimeZone they were tracking when the watch was last worn.

It is very rare for me to leave a bezel at reset correctly at noon. Enjoy being a hair different, or some might say I'm just a hair off....🤏🏻🤪. YMMV.

I can't begin to tell you how many watches I have owned with adjustable bezels, I have never used one of them for anything

Yes! The other thing I use it for is to time the off cycle for my lava lamp. After five hours you gotta turn it off for thirty minutes.
