The black PVD is the original 45mm isn't it?

Sure looks cheaper to own than an Ulysse Nardin Erotica.

A moon phase complication is very useful for lycanthropes, which I'm willing to bet are more numerous than those who will find a use for the 24Hr indicator, because if I have to travel for close to 12,000km until I reach Las Vegas, where it will maybe be useful in the unlikely event of me passing out from substance abuse, well...that just say a lot about its usefulness isn't it?

And before you scoff at the idea of lycanthropy, yes it's real and I already proved it.

If it's so great how come it's mostly found on mecha-quartz chrono and it's not a feature that is universally adopted on every quartz and mechanical watch? Because it's f*cking useless that's why. Turning the hands until the date steps forward and then adjusting the time is not a problem and I know that because this is exactly what I do almost every day and it happens only once per day. OTOH looking at the useless 24Hr indicator that gives me exactly the same info that I can get if I stick my head out is a constant annoyance.

The honest truth is that I don't like the Speedmaster very much.

Wasn't it Bilbo and not Frodo that wondered what he had in his pocket after finding Gollum's ring in the cave?

What I usually carry are my keys and a small tool on a titanium clip and a Zorro lighter.
