One watch to rule them all and set them when I wind 'em.

This watch does several things, but it tells the time too, and jolly well! It's the daddy.The hands are blued steel, the strap is leather RAF style G10 by vintagewatchstraps. The strap, and lug, width is 22mm, but the bars are curved as the strap is quite thick, hence you get to see a smidgin of spring bar. The sweep second hand does running seconds normally, and chrono seconds when required. Retrograde day indicator on the 6 o'clock sub-dial does 1/20 seconds in chrono mode.

the date window isn't big enough
That is not the problem, I routinely fit date magnifiers. The problem is the date wheel is set well below the dial, the chapter ring is deep, therefore the magnified image is too big to fit on the cyclops! The crystal is big, perhaps it would take a bigger magnifier. ... But a lesson learned about the 'strength' of a cyclops - it has to be mated to the distance from the object. Glad for the opportunity 'defects' afford, to bore you!

Unfortunately started typing the thread before midnight ready to post ooops.

a watch to rule them all
I thought a lot of people might have a reference watch by which all others were corrected to show the right time. With the advent of digital radio the pips are not reliable any more. Hence my radio controlled watch.

piece of 'old tat'
Fantastic clean dial

Not sure title makes any sense.
Don't your watches have a 'chief' that you check them against? Because it's always accurate to the second?

This morning

A change required for the afternoon / evening boozing in MCR...
Same here as off to a local beer festival at noon to meet some mates and have an afternoon of ale and live music. So on with the Superocean, my old beer fest friend with its super lume and solid construction plus 5000ft of pressure resistance..
