    Perhaps it's a GMT longitude feature so if you're slightly off the Greenwich meridian you can have a second second hand (if that makes sense) to measure your exact geographical (if not political) time.

    New watch day today, Payday treat.

    Fancied something a bit different, have this one in pale blue, but always fancied the green on black "stealth" one as the best looking one.
    Though at 44mm its a thick boy, and it hardly disapears on the wrist.

    U-Boat "Darkmoon" 44mm in black with green dial.

    Cool feature with this one, is that the case is oil filled and you get a spirit-level type air bubble under the crystal?
    Has a large domed sapphire crystal, the oil fill really makes the green sunbust dial Pop in the light, as well as giving the illusion the its all dial, with no crystal.
    Really unusual look and really catches the eye - I love it, its quirky!

    I have asked this before, but what is the reason for having the crown on the left hand side?

    If you have already answered this then my apologies, but I've forgotten the reason.
