”Uhhhh wait....ehhrm...it’s five minutes to ten...uuuhh no wait give me a sec...duuhhh I’m pretty certain it’s ten minutes to eleven...uhh no....can you wait a minute or so and I’ll be able to tell you...”

(Tired of this hard to read old style DJ. Must upgrade to newer DD )

I think what you really need is glasses.

No one needs an excuse to buy a new watch, though.

If a DD is what you want, go for it.

And the sticks all blend into one long hand I believe he is implying.

Its 9:55. The real question is AM or PM? You need a Batman.

I get it. Between the hands and hour markers it's tough at a glance to tell the hour hand from the minute hand. It won't be a factor when the hands are not lined up with the hour markets, but when they do it's tough to differentiate.

Exactly, the sticks and hands really blend in on this watch. Extra bad if you have sub par eyesight.

Thanks for the support guys! I already have a pair of glasses and a GMT. What I need is a DD
