Good evening Folks,
Can someone please answer a couple of questions about the B-2 .
Does the bi-directional bezel turn smoothly or with "clicks", and do the hands have a "yellowish" tint in relation to the numbers and markers ? Will appreciate any assistance. Thank you, Bryan

The B-2 bezel is a non-ratcheting, geared slide rule affair, so it rotates smoothly (although you can just about feel the gears when you twist it).

In terms of the hands and markers they shouldn't be yellow, but neither are they pure white either. Superluminova has a lightly off-white tinge (depending on the colour of the lume).

Thanks Driver 8, I can sleep better tonight. By the way, the hands are actually more of an "off white" than yellow. I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. Best to you, Bryan
