Lee's Watch Thread for MM'ers of Impeccable Taste
The slide rule bezel is something I recently became very interested in. Not only can you do pilot-type stuff Lee mentioned, which isn't pertinent to me, you can do pretty much any conversion that matters today. Currency conversion is a big one, but it also has markings for km-to-miles and kg-to-lbs. That, combined with dual time zone, makes it a great feature for people who travel internationally and either don't want to do brain math or whip our their phone. The only hitch is you have to understand how to use logarithmic scale.

Here's a decent intro to slide rule bezels, although I think he explains it in a more complicated way than it needs to be: https://youtu.be/RuK_77DEUfw?t=5m58s

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
