At the moment though, London itself is 7 hours ahead of you, which has nothing
to do with GMT.

When you set your clock ahead tonight, (assuming you do) then London time will
then indeed be 6 hours ahead of you.

You sure about that Ace? I'm in Pacific and Zulu is 7 hours ahead of
me.

Yes, people do work with their hands for a living. Presumably a
blacksmith would not have need to tell time in 3 zones at one time and
would remove any watch, electronic or mechanical. I know guys that
golf with their automatic watch with no ill effect. Most of us who
work with our hands but in less strenuous activities should not have to
worry about their watch failing. And since the original thread asked
about a 24 hour watch for swling, I'm still not clear how a G rating
would come into play.

Some people work with their hands for a living.

The point is that a virtually indestructable, impeccably accurate,
perpetually powered, and foolproof to read timepiece can be had for 75
clams. And it shows 2 time zones at once in 24 hour format.

It's a digital world.

Hey, DF... I was responding to Cuhulin... and he's in the CST zone.

Please try to pay even the slightest bit of attention.

You get back to me when you get both that and your meds figured out.

So if Central is 6 hours behind Z, and Pacific is 7 hours behind Z,
what is Mountain?

Do a search for World International Time Zones www.dogpile.com I
have some old World Atlas books here and they show the international
time zones all over the World.Some of my old beat up shortwave radios do
too.

Years ago, Radio Shack used to have a very good-looking silver-colored
watch and band that had an analog dial and a digital window (LCD) that
could be set independently. It worked great for just what you are
asking, I know because I bought one.

London is irrelevant. Ask Ace. I need to hang my Geochron back up.
