Bezels: uni or bi-directional?

Post by Bob1035 » Sat Jan 28, 2023 5:58 pm

Random Saturday night geekery: anyone else prefer bi-directional dive bezels? When I got my 6309, I thought it was weird being able to spin the bezel both ways. But after a while, I realised I prefer it! I don’t dive, but I do time a lot of random crap, so the bidirectional is pretty handy. To the point I’ve modded two of my other main divers to bi directional

Anyone else like me on this?

welcome to the bi-curious club, terry will be along shortly with your welcome package.

seriously though, I don't have a preference, either bezel config is fine.

Uni for me, because when I’m 600m under water and breaking depth records I don’t want it telling me I have any more air in the tanks than I actually have.

Ok, I’ve actually never gone diving in my life, but for whatever reason I still prefer uni.

Is that what’s it’s called?! I don’t see how he gets away calling it a welcome package when it hurts the next day…

I find bi bezels move too easily and I accidentally turn them. So I’ll take a nice firm single click bezel. If I ever find a watch with a firm 2 way I’d prob like it just as much.
