Blue collar paradise.

When we were young, the gang had to keep their watches in perfect sync. Every day, in the summer, we hunted the town storm sewer system for Gamera. We knew he was there, waiting for his chance to devour the city. It was our job to locate and destroy him.

Never did find the bastard.

Just the reflection and me being under a shade tree. They're polished/bright otherwise. Some complain the hands aren't contrast-y enough for the dial color, but they are. And as time goes on, I won't even noticed the lack of contrast.

I don't consider myself picky or being OCD over the details. But this irritates me. Why would they ever do this?

I work at a manufacturing plant that produced printing ink. Water resistence be damned, I just need it to clean up well. I keep Khaki Ti on a black silicone strap. It's the watch that gets the most wrist time, but man. That glare from the sapphire crystal and the off-black-brow-grey dial color is annoying at time. It is the most comfortable watch I have, but the most irritating as far as legibility.

I bought mine on etsy.  They had two styles, this one for ~$45 and an expensive style at $125.  The more expensive style is cut from the top of the ray I guess, the denticles are larger and seem to be more pronounced.  But the cheaper model works just fine, it doesn't grab attention away from the watch.  I don' t know how it will stand up to time.  I put a clasp on the it to minimize how much it gets worked putting it on and off.
