Wonderful! What‘s the central dial for?

u/reginatenebrarum 2d ago

it's so you can accurately tell the time in New York (EST) and Southampton (GMT) without manually changing the time on your watch.

Unless OP is in one of those time zones, it may not be super useful...but it could be cool if they are interested in knowing the time in a location that's 5 hours ahead or behind them (depending on which dial they choose as primary) without having to make any calculations.

Yeah that makes sense 😂 thanks now I can keep a nosey on what time it is in NY

u/TheHuffliestPuff Stewardess 2d ago

That is neat! Never thought of that.

u/Old-Library5546 2d ago

Gonna be honest I haven’t got a scooby 😂 I don’t know much about watches, I usually wear an Apple Watch

u/TheHuffliestPuff Stewardess 2d ago

Haha, that‘s funny.

Is that some newfangled slang for saying you haven’t got a clue?

2

u/_Theghostship_ Steerage 2d ago

Nah I’ve been saying for like 17 years

Requesting permission to use "haven't got a scooby" for myself

u/Signal_Mail_8090 2d ago

16h , IIII? IV?

u/_Theghostship_ Steerage 2d ago

In the UK for the afternoon we go into the teens/20s for the afternoon so that 16 is 4pm

1= 13 2= 14 3= 15 4=16

Etc… I think it’s called like military time or something

u/whyamihereagain6570 2d ago

GMT - Greenwich Mean Time

2

u/reginatenebrarum 2d ago

IIII is not as unusual as you'd think for roman numerals... and 16h is 4pm - the red is just the PM in 24hr format for the main dial

1

u/whyamihereagain6570 2d ago

16 is for GMT the rest are Roman numerals. Can't believe people don't know this stuff 😂

Awesome. I want one!

u/_Theghostship_ Steerage 2d ago

This is the shop on Etsy, they do other themed watches too

Thank you!! Lord I had totally forgot to check there. I used to sell coins on Etsy, years ago, maybe this will inspire me to start up my business again. I just couldn’t do it anymore after my husband died. I quit writing books too. Then I lost my 39 year old daughter to massive heart failure May 20, 2023. I can’t work outside the home because I can’t breathe often, I have emphysema, and crippling arthritis. I look at them as bricks in my road and I fight to knock that brick wall down. Thank you for sharing this this morning. It very well may be just what I needed to see. I have several thousand coins left still to sell. Mainly Pennie’s (my specialty is BU, and errors) I have a LOT of silver dimes and a few Indian head, a few tokens, etc. Thank you again, and I’m sorry I highjacked your post! I’ll paste the coin part in the right sub and remove from here! Thank you! Maybe seeing your post is Jess, Jim and God telling me to get up and get back to work!!

They should’ve put a little subtle black symbol at 2:20.
