commented on How many hours difference warrants a GMT ⌚? ·

I am living between USA, Sri Lanka and Italy. USA and SL is a 12.5 hour difference = easy switch day for night in my mind. SL to Italy is a trick because its 3:30 hours ahead, I have to tweak the bezel by 1 click. USA Pacific to Italy is an even 9, so no offset bezel.

I have the BB diet Pepsi GMT (true gmt) and it comes in handiest when landing in Dubai or any stop over when you can just adjust the hour hand and be in the correct time instantly, while keeping home time

I heard about that course pre internet, couldn't remember the college....but I did find this Sociology book:

looks like they were professors at Arizona State in the late 70's!

My BB GMT is spot on (according to Toolwatch). I want to have it tested with a timegrapher, but I have been super happy with it's accuracy. Go for it!

Love that show, I heard there is a college course that studies and interprets the Prisoner. Now we have added horology to that class, well done Professor!

Hey Vinnie, I bought a new coin edge and sapphire crystal from crystaltimes

https://usa.crystaltimes.net/product-category/mako-ray-xl-watch-mod-parts/

and the bezel too

https://usa.crystaltimes.net/shop/skx007-mod-parts/skx007-bezel-inserts/ct690-flat-ceramic-bezel-insert-deep-ocean-blue-skx007-srpd/

Its cool the skx bezel inserts work for the Ray and the Mako, so there is amillion choices. I modded this Mako at the same time. Swapped the original hands off this one and put these Planet Ocean style ones on. It's great to do to these divers as they aren't expensive to start with, and they are hardy tool watches! In house movement, 200 meter water resist, 41mm-can't beat them for the price
