Good morning all. Long busy weekend... back this morning wearing a Glycine Airman SST06.

I like your watch Daniel
i've Never owned a Airman even if these watches have an undeniable charm IMHO
i don't know if my poor Brain is able to Read correctly what time it is

LOL! Merci birdynamnam. It's really not that bad once you get use to it. The 24h format is actually the most logical way of showing time when you think about it. You can see that it's 9:00am sharp on the dial. For some, it gets tricky once you get to PM, but for me, it's very natural since it's the time format used in Quebec. So I've grown with 19:00 and 21:30 instead of 7pm and 9:30pm. I wish more companies made pure 24h watches.

I see you're in France. France is using the 24h format no? You should be use to it too ; )

Hi Daniel,
Here in France we use the 24H format
I think ,as you've said, that it's a question of habit to use such a dial .
There is different dials ; Twelve on top seems to me the more intuitive.
But maybe I'm wrong
I love the SST for it's look 70's : lucky guy you are

That's where you see that the human brain can act strangely. My Airman Special II as the 12 at the top and each time I wear it, it takes me a few hours to get use to it. 12 at the top is the most logic indeed (it follows the sun) but not for my brain. 24 at the top is the easiest for me ; )

Thanks for the compliment.
