    thought id post this while i wait for my bezel to come in :p:cautious: ..

    Wearing the 321 without its bezel for a few days and all i can think is "superdome" crystal and a more dress watch style look :eek:

    Opinions?

    Looks more unassuming to me, doesn't stand out as much without the tachy bezel. Doesn't look bad, I think a little dressier as well, especially on the leather strap.

    I like it. It seems unnatural though, not sure I would keep it like that. Something about being "complete." But I will say this--I wish a bezel-less version existed in the wild!!

    Nice look. Is there any downsides to going sans bezel? If you nicked up the outer case where the bezel sits, would it not snap into place when you eventually got your bezel?

    It's just the pushers that look a little funny, like wearing short trousers.

    It really reminds me of the lemania, i had my watchmaker remove the old bezel so i didnt ruin it (DON) i prefer the beze but its an interesting look.

    reminds me a bit of a friend shaving his beard ...

    for some time he looks off, but the look of the person is still the same ...

    so you get "normal" and "weird" at the same time


    also kudos to Omega for designing a watch whose design really seems to be a classic of classics ...

    anybody have any pics of a Rolex Sub sans bezel? just too curious

    But in a shoulderless early one... Yummy


    Too me it's like the first time you see a jaguar xjc the 2 door version made for 2 years. Your used to seeing the 4 door made for 20 plus years it's looks great but there is a cognitive dissonance. Like a date Rolex with no date lens. Looks great but your brain screams something is missing.

    Someone posted an LV yesterday with no date lens though it just feels weird.
