vinn3 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 GOOD SHOW; is there a web site where you can some of those parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeedog Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I like it. I suppose you chose a different style of minute hand so that it would be immediately identifiable?for a person such as myself who needs reading glasses, this does make sense.you would not have to squint or put on your glasses to know which hand is which.

Thank you. In regards to the minute hand. Yes I wanted it to be readily identifiable. I was going for a divers style orange hand, which is relied upon heavily for keeping track of dive time. The larger hand makes it easily identifiable underwater and the orange color is the last the loose its hue/color underwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed the minute hand stands out, that was more of a personal choice regarding the divers style I was going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
