How do y’all pronounce “two door”? 🤪

Correct. I guess you could call it a sub-complication since it's just an extra thing tacked onto the chronograph :)

Yes! The chapter ring from 25-35 seconds at the bottom is a different color; that’s the sweet spot for espresso brew time

That's a tremendous reply, thank you so much for sharing. Those are some gorgeous references there. The case on the SGEH49P2 in particular is just phenomenal. I'm going to have to go hunting in the SGE family soon.

I get that quartz is kinda sneered down on by most enthusiasts. I don't really agree but I get it. It carries that perception of "cheap" or "commodity" or just that it lacks that complex interaction found in a mechanical watch. I think it's undeserved - there are quartz movements that stand above what's inside a wal-mart watch in the same way that an ETA will stand above an Olevs from AliExpress.

It’s quite a dope piece. You looking at the small seconds with 12-3-6-9 or the more no-frills one?

This is an older discontinued version, but they recently released an updated re-issue that’s pretty great.

I’m a fan of their stuff. I got to have some good hands on time at a local watch show a couple years ago and I was really impressed with the build quality. They’re made at Maryland Watch Works so all warranty and service is done domestically.

Shameless plug, go to the last bookmark for the Hager brand owner showing off the goods:
