You can always wear a clock around your neck.

I'm with Steve, but I found a middle solution...

I don't know why Longam but it just doesn't have that appeal to me!!:hmmm:
@ Neal, obviously you really like that watch, it certainly is different to today's styles, I would go for it!!:yep:
Here is another in my collection (Germasian), an automatic, cost $85:

Actually they were. IIII was how Romans wrote the number 4. It was only long after the fall of the empire that the subtractive concept was used for Roman numerals. IV for 4 and IX for 9. There are still examples of Roman educational scrolls and engravings that list IIII for 4 and VIIII for 9.

This is one reason doing math using Roman Numerals can be cumbersome, It gets easier (a little!) when you revert back to "real" Roman Numbers that use the additive schema.

Probably more than you ever wanted to know about Roman Numbers.

What should be more interesting is why do they put Roman Numbers upside down on watches/clocks but put Arabic numbers right side up?

Stop with the technical jargon so the rest of us can understand.

(sheesh, some people flaunting their "education")

:D

That's ejumakashun to you bub!:know::D

Nice! I didn't know that. So this watch must be modeled on the split second between when the Roman numeral revisions had not converted the 4 and had converted the 9? Cool!



Very clean! Nice, Reese.

Don't they say "you need to go with time"...?

No, think I need not.

That last one is really tricky :)

I kind of like this one.

What do you guys think about luminox watches?
They look great, and on paper they seem to be tough
But the price tag for some of their better watches are quite expensive, some of them are almost as expensive as a rolex
What do you guys think? Are luminox watches worth the high price tag, or are they just over rated, and priced high because they seem "military"?

I can't offer an opinion on any watch that costs for than $200 :)

the rosato which I was talking about.
