The 2nd time sub-dial has a little arrow that points to the time you are tracking. In the pic the 2nd time is set to Denver. It works like a dual time with region indicator. Is neat because every time you press the pusher at the 8 o'clock position the disc moves one city and the sub-dial adjust accordingly. Also the indicator of AM and PM moves along.

Wow, I love that indicator. I was looking at the wrong sub-dial: there is an even smaller one on the main time dial (very tiny).
Just an amazing watch my good man.

I know I was like that not too long ago. Alternatively the rose gold is cheaper than the white gold and the yellow gold is cheaper than the Rose. I like the white gold a little Better than the rose, plus have the luminous hands. But I am in the same boat now with another watch that I just put a deposit, so yeah I understand the feeling.
Good luck!

This is one of the best threads ever!!!!!! Beautiful watches. The other night I'm in a Tux and me and the wife are going to our annual installation of Lodge officers. I'm wearing an early 60's Omega tank on a black strap. Wifey comes in and I get ready to get her TT Datejust ready to go. She says, " No, I need a dress watch." So she selects an vintage gold Bulova tank on a black alligator strap. I knew there was a reason I married her!!!!

Hamilton Ventura Chromo Men In Black

This is my Hamilton Ventura Chrono Men In Black Limited Edition #228 of 2002. My sweet wife bought this for me for a past anniversary. It's nice to know she recognized my sickness early on. For our 1st anniversary she got me a beautiful Tissot stainless pocket watch with a nice message engraved on the back. Still runs like a champ!

Who said a dress watch cannot be worn casually?

Strictly speaking, my PP5205 is easily the most dressy of all my watches.
