The 30 minute could be used to time something but what would you use the 12 hour for other than time in a decompression chamber
 
For doghouse doghouse - GMT minus the tramp stamp PR indicator:

That's a handsome watch. Nice job.

It is but not mine - I just liked this photo. It's actually bit too thick IMO. If it was a mm or two thinner and didn't have that blue GMT written in big letters it could be a grail though and I would pull the trigger on it straight away.

Seriously, though, it needs more beads and other #wristraff to be truly wristworthy. ;-)

I am increasingly avoiding DW, and this exemplifies why. The anal-retentive rule following and boring, conservative mentalities rip all the joy out of dressing. The amount of times I have heard men in gray suits and black shoes tell me what I should be wearing and why leaves me depressed. Many of the people involved in this industry truly enjoy what they do, they love dressing and there is a definite creative buzz when working with others in the industry. The 'clothing enthusiasts' come along and tell us how we should be wearing our clothing, never bothering to consider that we are not them, we are not trying to express what they express. It is like classical musicians telling a jazz musician that their music is wrong, their expression wrong, because they don't follow the rules that others confine themselves to.
Lighten the fuck up. Does it really bother you that my tie isn't straight? Do you really think you know how comfortable I would be in heavy cotton, speaking from a different country? Do you think you know our inspirations for dressing, when we live completely different lives, with vastly different career paths, social circles and even different cultures?

It usually starts with Journeyman Journeyman being a trouble maker.

This thread has all sorts of people weighing in when they themselves would never order bespoke pants anyway. So Journeyman Journeyman mostly comes in here -- and other threads -- for gossip, saying elsewhere that he can't believe Ambrosi charges a thousand dollars for pants or that delays happen with custom clothing.

they've definitely got some unique designs. any watch in particular you're interested in?

Actually I am not sure, I think some of the new designs are a bit....of a mixed bag. Some of them seem overpriced for bog standard unadjusted movements. However, the Smiths Military in 36mm or 39mm is a really good plain military watch. Outstanding in fact.

I had their Precista, Blancpain Fifty-Fathoms re-edition which had the original vintage calibration in. Stupidly I sold it for no real good reason other than there was a spec of tritium on the face which I could of got rid-off easily. It really was something special. I kick myself for getting rid.
 
Is it just me or does this look... terrible? Like, I thought it was a Citizen Ecodrive terrible.
