What Watch Are You Wearing Today?

Cheers, yeah I know its a cliche but I had to do it! It does look good on the vintage Bond and I actually prefer the single pass US style as it doesn't bulk up under the case, nor does it have loads of extra length to fold up, or too many metal things. However it's true to form with enough length to reach to the top lug, just in case you did want to wear it over your wetsuit!! The keepers are the same material as the strap. It's the Geckota/Watch Gecko one.

I know what you mean about ticky Timex but either I am deaf or it is as good as silent. I do have tinnitus but I can't hear this from further than 2", although if pressed to my ear you can hear it a bit. I would have rather had a Casio Duro but for the compelling factor of the Indiglo light. The Casio Duro has a bit of a following, looks more like a Sub, is smaller and much more waterproof. But I bought this to be able to read it at night so Indiglo was 2nd only to the ability of it to tell the time!

Hi mate, can I ask you can the indiglo stay on forever if you keep the crown pushed or does it deactivate itself after x seconds (like a G shock)?

I suppose it might depend on what X seconds is, but at the risk of depleting my flux capacitor and causing a glitch in the matrix I just held the crown in for just over 1 minute to see if it had any kind of timeout and I guess if it stays on for 1 min then it probably stays on until you let go. HTH. Cheers

Thanks for the sacrifice:LOL:. Apologies for not being clearer regarding x seconds. I meant like a g shock, where it doesn't matter if you keep holding the light button, the light will turn itself off after 1.5 or, on some models, 3 seconds.
 
I presume the triangle at 12 o'clock is static and the hours go round on the ring. Kinda neat but having spent probably 45 years looking at the hour hand in relation to the minute hand I see no reason to reinvent the wheel. To be fair though I have a few Storm watches (traditional style) and Storm have some very innovative ways of indicating the time. It's just that I thought I had that down when I waved goodbye to Mickey 4 decades ago and I'm not sure I wanna learn new tricks now!
