    In this case they are trying to define the bezel as the "top" of the watch. Kind of stretching it a bit.

    We used to eat a a restaurant where the owner was a bit quirky. She was funny though, and one of the signs on the wall read "A fool and his money..... make a great date!". Too bad she closed down. She made some interesting omelets.

    Not sure I understand the criticism of the first listing. Everyone doesn't know what a "bezel" is, so I'm OK with that description. Didn't get a chance to see the 2nd one, so no comment there.

    The second was a GC described as 18k gold. Probably why it was taken down.
