Thanks for the vid Chris. Re SM bezels: It's not the easiest thing to turn without gloves either! You did well even if it looked difficult. The scalloped bezel looks nice, but works poorly on all Seamasters, sadly. BTW, the bezel 'countdown timer" on this model is useless for actual use on sailboats: you are trying to cross the start line at the right second, so the rough measurement a bezel gives you is more likely to screw you up and/or give you a penalty. You need a SECONDS countdown. Despite this, it's nice nod, even if no sailor would have a use for it. More about the look than actual use. Today have the Zenith Defy Skyline Skeleton in Ti on - love this watch!
Great point Should have made it a regatta timer Chronograph. Doesn’t have to be a complicated as a YM2 l. A big eye chrono sundial would be easy enough to implement
Wearing the Tokyo 2020 seamaster!
Why can't it be the same 13mm thick as the NTTD?

3:52 See how misaligned the 2 applied markers at 12 are relative to the vertical dash line above them at centre!? Wow. That’s bad.
It looks like the Beijing Olympics one
