Interesting: Rotating Bezels from late 1920s / 30s

Interesting thread over on WUS -- http://forums.watchuseek.com/f2/first-watch-rotating-bezel-550423.html

Seems that the "prize" for first rotating bezel goes to Longines, with Rolex also being part of the discussion. The rotating bezel for divers seems to have come in the 1950s, from Rolex / Blancpain.
