Air Force Orange to start the weekend,,,,,,,,,Jeff, what is the extra hand on the Patek do? I assume second time zone, but the 24hr subdial throws me?

Thanks Graham, Oscar and Tony. 22 years sped by in a flash.

Tony, the picture of my PP Travel Time was taken at 3:34pm, Auckland time. This is designated by the gold hour hand between the 3 and 4. It doesn't appear as gold because of reflections and it appears on the photo as black. The pointer on the 24 hour subdial shows the time at almost 1600H and thus confirms to me that in my HOME ZONE of Auckland, the time (am or pm) is what the gold hand shows and what the 24 hour subdial confirms.

All the hands of the watch are in black and once the re-set buttons are pushed as I move from time zone to time zone, the main black hand either moves forward or backward depending on whether I am travelling east or west. Once the re-set buttons are pressed and the black hour hand moves forward or backward, a concealed GOLD hour hand hidden behind the main black hour hand appears. This is the only gold hand among all the black hands. Therefore the gold hand stays where it is serving as a reminder to me of the time in my HOME ZONE.

The re-set button at the 8 to 9 section is the button I press whenever I head eastward. 1 press of this button and the black hour hand moves an hour....press twice and the hour hand moves forward by 2 hours....so forth and so on.

When I travel westward, I press the re-set button at the 9 to 10 section. This reverses the black hour hand by an hour for every press I make....2 presses and the black hour goes back 2 hours....so forth and so on.

The black hands showing time at 1134am is the time of an east Asian country that I track.....4 hours behind Auckland time.

So at one glance, I will know exactly the time in 2 time zones including the am and pm hours of my home zone. By keeping the main hands black, wherever I am I will always know my prime or relevant real time and I just need to glance at the gold hand to know the time at home.

Amazing......no wonder they are IMHO the premier watch maker in the world you rock.gif

Ok just crawled out of bed...Congrats Jeff!!
Nothing for it I may have to see if there is a beer in the fridge, hair of the dog may do it.
I remember when I could bounce back from a night out will little effort but now it feels like a dog did its business in my brain.

Switching to Vostok

And Nick yes the VE I was wearing ealier can be picked up for about $70 I saw the other day, one of the cheaper ones but fairly cool looking.

Congratulation Mr. and Mrs. Jeff. Enjoy the day. If I added all my marriages together, I couldn't reach 22.

Going with the Tribute to the Irish today.

Congratulations on 22 years of wedded bliss Jeff!!!...now that is something well worth celebrating...please extend my well wishes to the misses and enjoy the day celebrating amigo!!!

...and that Patek is awesome...thanks for the detailed explanation on the workings of this amazing timepiece...too cool...
