I dislike the fluted, so I would always go smooth.
But then, I’d go OP as I don’t like dates, or cyclopses.
Thank you. Exactly right. When the hour hand points at (or near) 08, it means we precede the minute-hand number with the value '08'. On a 24-hour watch, the hour hand can point to 17, 18, 19, etc. Each time, we precede the minute value with the hour number. So, if we have '24' on the dial, that suggest that we would have 2215, 2315, 2415, which we clearly don't. Whereas, if we have 22, 23, 00, on the dial, then that correctly tells us that the time will be 2217, 2317, and 0017 hrs.
What do the numbers: 01, 02, 03, etc signify?
How do the hour number and minute hand work together?
What info do you use to decide that the time is 0830?
I would love a Glycine but I refuse to have a 24 hour watch with ‘24’ at the top, for two reasons:
There is no ‘24’. Time starts at ‘00’, eg 0020 hrs, not 2420 hrs.
Evidently ‘12’ should be at the top, meaning that when the hour hand points up, the sun is up, and vice versa.
Don’t buy a watch you don’t want. Don’t let an AD push a watch onto you that you have no use for.
The OP and DJ are lovely. I prefer the OP, as I rotate my watches and so don’t like date windows.
Consider the Explorer. I think it is much more characterful than the OP and DJ.
Good luck with the Submariner.
