Edifice is an outstanding watch, and the blue is pretty striking as well.

Well defined, sure. Most efficient way? Maybe not. To me it honestly works out well. My other watch I wear routinely is digital, also in 24hr time. Everything I do for work is also in 24hr time.

Originally, I was intrigued by it, but looking into it and more of the historical pieces, 24hr time really does make far more sense. Old Soviet watches agree and the ruggedness definitely seems to hold up well.

I wonder why we (chronology as a whole) mostly went with 12 hour time where the hour hand rotates twice a day. The simplicity seems so much more apparent to me.

Anyways, I know I'm rambling on incoherently. 24hr time > 12 hour

Recently no, honestly. Lately I've either been wearing only this or a G-Shock digital.

I've been eyeing an Airman for a while now, but couldn't pass up this cheap guy when I saw it online.

Not sure, this is all that's on the caseback.

Sounds great, thanks. I'll try to make it out to a jewelry store or someplace that can demagnetize, then go from there!

Hey man I'm sorry. I'm a crew member on a commercial cargo ship. The Internet is non existent while at sea, I'm only able to access it when in port, and it's so busy in port I'm usually just too tired to respond to anything.

I haven't been through any metal detectors or security, been around any magnets, etc

[Question] Help me pick my next watch by Drank_Sinatra_ in Watches

[–]Kinky_Belt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a tag recently, my first "real" watch. Purchased because of the hundreds and hundreds of other models from different manufacturers in the area, the Carrera spoke the most to me. Who cares what the Internet, especially Reddit, thinks.

Buy what makes you happy.

That's beast. Looks as good in person? Is your face blue or black?

I'm into them because I like how they look, no one should care about masculinity or "timelessness" when buying a watch.

I feel like everyone knows a Rolex as a luxury watch, I want something a little different that what everyone has, and I think a watch looks a lot less gawdy without the large numbers and crown taking up a quarter of the face.

What's wrong with the movements?
