On a diver, do you prefer an inner rotating bezel with a 2nd screw down crown or the traditional uni-directional bezel?

Have had both, and definitely prefer the traditional outer bezel without reservation.

All internal bezels should be destroyed...kidding!


I prefer an external bezel on a dive watch.

Mostly prefer and have out.
However, inside can be cool if done right - rare.

Like that one. The only minor quibble I have is the lines inside the 3-6-9-12.

Since I never actually use a bezel for its intended purpose, makes no difference to me. It comes down to looks.

All my previous Seiko divers had outer uni-directional turning bezels. My latest adventure Orient MForce does have the internal rotating compass ring though..

I'm a traditional guy so it's the traditional rotating bezel for me. I've actually never liked the inner rotating bezel via a second crown. Just never liked it's look.
