lol, that's awesome, someone who uses what was once a sophisticated and necessary timing piece for auto racing back in the day, has now become a coffee timer

I'm glad it gets use

I agree on the GMT watches, I know my Nomos isn't technically a "real" GMT watch, but the separate pusher for the time zones is so convenient. For examply, I wore that watch all the way across from ontario to British Columbia, and all I had to do was just press the pusher once a day pretty much. where with my jeep, I had to access sub menus and such to change the time.

when I head back to Ontario however, I'll have to push the pusher about 23 times each zone change to get the time back to the correct times zone. But still easy.
