    I love the idea of swappable bezels but I'd rather it was for different functions instead of colors. Being able to go between a timing/dive bezel and a 12-hour bezel that let me track another timezone would be game-changing.

    I like what RZE is doing. With this easy-to-remove bezel concept, they seem to be trying new things to make our “accessories” easier, more resistant and enjoyable to wear. With the economy as it is today, you want to get as much out of every purchase and they seem to understand that.
    Note that, although I love larger watches, it may not be the “norm” these days 🤷🏼‍♂️
    That said, I’d get this one in a heartbeat 😍👍🏼

    Oh wow, that bracelet is neat! Handsome, unique hands, too. But sadly, optical illusions aside, no way I can wear the 44/53mm size. But for those who can, RZE really does offer great specs and an instantly identifiable design approach.

    Peter - any idea what material the bezel inserts are? With three screws each time you want to swap it out, I would definitely need something scratch resistant for the insert!
    Also, there is frequent bonding and/or thread stripping between different metals, so might be concerned about the longevity of these tiny screws against Titanium.
    Some Ti watches with SS crown tubes have seem similar failures.

    I usually think RZE are a little pricey with the NH35 but with the change to a miyota at 499 with a second bezel it's a bit of a bargain. Shame it's just too big for me but I guess at 17cm wrist I'm not the target audience.
