I thought I was the only "maniac" who cared about keeping his bezel lined up properly..

good to see I am not alone!

:) No, you are not alone. Careful though, it could spread to other aspects of your daily life....have you checked all the screws on the door hinges in your house as an example ? A good test of your bezel alignment mania is whether you can sleep knowing the slots dont all lie exactly vertical.
I adjusted my wifes bra straps the other day, as the left hand shoulder strap was a good inch closer to her neck than the right hand one. She (and the other people in the restaurant) didnt really understand, but man, I spent the rest of the evening with such a feeling of balance.

Nice one ewen - I laughed & laughed, didn't see it coming!

Have to admit that I shut the doors to hide the slots!

You know - the thing that really pi55es me off is when someone's selling a watch - on eBay for example - and they dont align the bezel.

I mean - what's that all about. Aaaargh!!!!

There are a lot of times when I want to use the bezel to time something, but I dont, because i know ill forget to put it back to 12. Plus, its gonna get fingerprints, and then im gonna have to buff it off... So I just dont really use it. I trying to get myself used to using it though.

Dont try too hard. It's just not worth the mental anguish of potentially forgetting to put it back! You could leave yourself a broken man and a nervous wreck! :wink:

Hey Ewen, could you have a tattoo on one shoulder but not the other? A true test of balance!

You guys are all nuts! :lol:

I use the bezel just about every day. I figure resetting it back to 12'oclock every time just adds more wear and tear.

What's next..."I don't use my watch to tell time, because I like to keep the hands at 10 and 2 since it's more aesthetically pleasing?"

Though I have noticed that if I don't put the bezel back to 12 o'clock I feel depressed, almost suicidal; I limp around in circles dragging one foot behind me with no sense of direction or purpose in life... but that's just a coincidence, I think.
