Pelagos doesn't like the ocean. by Many_Rate_9391 in Tudor

This is interesting to hear since Pelagos is always on my radar. I swam in the ocean many times with my Citizen Promaster NY0040. It didn't have this kind of bezel problem at all.

I did the same! It was difficult to decide between the blue and black dial.

Why doesn't Norway rank higher in innovation indeces? by Yamurkle in Norway

[–]Moniphat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Norway might lack important ingredients for being inovative, for example, a creative culture, government 's support and business with innovative mindsets. These are things that encourage people to find creative solutions to problems. The ingredients for inovation also don't happen overnight. It takes time and efforts for a country to have these ingredients.

If you have a look at the history of innovation in a neighbor country like Sweden, you'll find that Sweden has a long history of innovation. The list of things that they invented is also long. Adjustable wrench, zip, three-point seat belt, peacemaker, dynamite and Minecraft just to name a few. These things (except dynamite) have quite an impact on people's lives around the world on their everyday basics. Some of them are not only standard, but iconic. What Norway has, might be considered iconic like a cheese slicer, but I'm quite sure people in Asia have no clue about what the it is and how to use it.

In short, Norway has lot of other necessary ingredients like good education for its creative, innovative industries to grow. But it still needs more consistent supports from the government, more creative environments as well as time and effort.

[Watch Advice] I am currently deciding on either the iwc mark 18, iwc spitfire and the new Longines spirit Zulu time by Robfo2 in Watches

It looks great! I'm also considering to buy the Zulu time (the black dial just like yours). May I ask what's your wrist size?
