| Post subject: | Bi-directional bezel?? |
Just purchased a Breilting SuperOcean steelfish. The one thing i noticed is that the bezel is bi-directional? The person at Tourneau told me that it is not a unidirectional traditional bezel but was Breitlings new design,which is bidirectional. Has anybody ever seen this before? |

That's news to me. I'm more inclined to think the bezel needs adjusting/fixing. The reason a ratcheted, uni-directional bezel is used on a diver's watch is so you don't run short of air by the bezel moving. To use a bi-directional one sounds crazy. |

A bidirectional bezel on a diver's watch would make zero sense at all, and would be potentially pretty dangerous if you actually used it for dive-time measurement as Sharky said. Me-thinks that Tourneau person doesn't know a damn thing about watches.... or probably anything else for that matter.

Im taking it over to my watch guy today, ill see what he says. Thanks guys |

The person at the Tourneau shouldn't sell watches. |

The Steelfish should have a uni-directional bezel. You will probably find the click spring under the bezel is missing or damaged. B'ling |
