Can ask them to bring in the 62mas reissue

so according to their website at http://www.gnomonwatches.com/why-gnomon is gnomon now an AD for the seiko JDMs that they stock? and who would actually service seiko JDMs - gnomon or seiko japan?

yes, bro arc13, them bringing in the SLA017 would be good. would have to look at their pricing first...

I've tried to JLC Master Geographic liao. Without discount is $17,200. SA refuses to even give a ballpark discount price. It's a beautiful watch but the worldtime crown so uncomfortable to turn.

And the main dial shows your home country time while the sub-dial shows the country you are currently in. Maybe I suaku but I find it counter-intuitive.

So sub dial controls the date?

The subdial at the bottom is the time of the country you are in.

I would think it should be the other way round? Like for eg now I am in London, why would I want to see SG time big big then London time small small?

Another "world timer" to introduce to you. This one is much cheaper and packs a punch.
- titanium
- solar
- radio control (6 band)
- easy to change time zone

Cos for Seiko's GMT, the local time controls the date and not the home time. The 24 hr hand (red hand) is the home time while the hour hand is the local time.

The local time should be seen at a glance and not having to "look for it".

Really nice looking watch. Sad that they did not give u a good price. Its still possible to set the time in reverse right. I mean the watch do not know where u are so u can set second time zone to singapore then normal hands to which ever.

Think harder to quick set ba. The gmt usually can change zone click by click.

Anyway JLC usually 15% discount at THG

If I am not wrong.
