I have decided to collect watches with plastic crystals only. I really like the Expo II and a white dial would be great since everything I own has a black dial now. I can not however justify having a watch with two hour hands which only move together. If I was cave exploring ok maybe - but that's not my thing. Travelling to other time zones is my thing however and having an independently adjustable 24 hour hand sounds like the bomb.

After reading through this thread it sounds as though the adjustable 24 hour hand started with the 16570. If so, then that begs the question did the 16570 ever come with a plastic crystal?

Thanks guys - nice stuff.
