The crown at what is normally 4 o'clock loosens or tightens a little plate with teeth in it to hold the bezel in place for the second time zone.

I agree 100%. And if these said anything other than just "James" on the dial I wouldn't have bought them 😂.

Ha! Valid point 😂.

I've thought about it. It actually looks kind of cool and doesn't affect the legibility too much so I keep flip-flopping on whether I want to or not.

I love it. I've seen some of their newer dials of this model and I would love to own one. I've also course drooled over some of their other watches.

Is this from Watch Angels?

commented on Battle of the micro-brand “military” watches ·

Very good points and an interesting discussion for sure. For me, I would prefer a brand that has remained uninturrupted, but I feel like brands that are brought back by a family member retain the heritage more than if it was brought back by someone else. And just because the brand is now run by a family member doesn't mean I give them an automatic pass, but I also am not automatically discrediting them. I think both Vertex and Fears have done a great job at retaining their heritage.
