Pop Quiz, What's different about this watch?

[TobyLaRohne]

So, first one to answer (correctly) gets to post up a picture of a watch that is a little bit different.

The only clue I'll give you is that this is a legit watch.

I'll be back on later this afternoon to check to see if anyone got it. If 2 other people agree that the difference identified is correct then you can post another picture in my absence

It rotates anti-clockwise?

Edit to add, I'm pretty sure this isn't the answer now.
That face is mesmerising, so much to take in!

I sort of hope I'm wrong, because I've got bugger all by way of photos to post up to keep the thread going, but I'm assuming it's a submariner's watch?

I've got a dirt cheap (ie, less than £20) Russian one kicking around somewhere. The key is that if you're in a submarine for several weeks without seeing the outside world, it's easy to lose track of whether 7 o'clock is 07:00 or 19:00, hence the analogue watch with a 24 hour dial instead of 12.

I'm combining both those answers... Looks like a 24hr dial that's runs anti-clockwise, on my tiny 2in Blackberry screen

It tells the time.......................




everywhere. (1st watch with "all time zones" complication?)

If this is correct someone can post as I'm off for a blat

[TobyLaRohne]

nope its something visual that distinguishes it. Let me say its a commissioned watch, you can visually see the difference from the regular world time VC.

Oooh, I got it - that's not a map of the world - it IS the world. We're actually looking down on ourselves!! AMIRIGHT?

I'm guessing this watch belongs to an Oligarch given the slight change thats been made from the original reference

Is it that the time zones marked on the outside are specific to the commissioner - Doha isn't on the standard watch.

I'm fortunate enough to own both a Patek world time and a JLC geographic and I'm a big fan of Vacheron but I'm not keen on that watch |http://thumbsnap.com/

Unfortunately I don't have a picture to contribute! (probably should have thought of that before answering...) So, I throw the thread open to someone else who does
