Yes, I got my new watch. It shipped to me on Dec. 12th and I got it on Dec. 14th. It shipped from GERMANY and I got it in the middle of nowhere TEXAS in 2 days via regular shipping. Amazing. The watch is insanely awesome. I made a video of it at work...

Nice watch!

My watch budget is around $100. every 20 years. LOL. Currently sporting a Wenger Swiss Army from Costco, purchased in the mid-90's.

Hahaha. I'm not sure if I can tell what time it says but... there are a lot of cool looking moving parts.

Nice watch!

I laughed, until I went back and looked at the pictures. Does it actually have hands on it somewhere?

Actually I think it says 8:20 Also, basing that on the post time of the pictures.

I try to stay away from watches that you have to re-learn how to tell time with. But it does look cool.

Top pic, time is 6:53 and bottom pic time is 1:37. There's the 12 hr clock there on the right that you can cheat off. The decorative gold hand has a small pointer on it that shows you the hour. Watch the video for those still questioning it. LOL Thanks for the compliments, I really do like it.

That's great! But how do you convert the metric time to imperial time?

Easy, you divide the seconds by pi times the radius of the dial.
