A bit of a different way to track the second time zone.
The rotating bezel has numbers one through 12 similar to that of the Sea Wolf, rather than 24 hours like a conventional GMT watch. The two hour hands are actually formed from a single, dual-sided hand, with home time indicated in silver and local time in red. As a result, home time will always follow the local time by six hours. In order to set the second time zone, you must rotate the 12-hour bezel to the desired time zone marked by the silver side of the hour hand. Then, the hour of the second time zone will correspond to where the silver hand indicates on the bezel.

This thing is awesome. The case shape reminds me of a Rado Diastar. The toothpaste lume looks really cool too. I would love to own one of these, or a Diastar for that matter.

I am debating whether Or not to polish the case. Generally I do not polish my watches, but this one is a mirror finish with no brushing and scratches not too deep. Part of me likes the character of a watch that shows age, but I also think this one may look great with a bit of light restoration. What do you think?

Tough call. Normally I would say no to polishing it. But I might consider it for this. Not just for the reasons you mentioned, but also because I think I might actually be able to get the polished bezel surface back to a nice finish without ruining or losing the sharpness of that edge. I'm sure you've done more of this but I'm not skilled with that stuff. So if it was any more difficult than a case like this, I'd be too worried I'd screw it up. But it's a cool watch so I know I'd enjoy it either way.

Alright, I decided to do it.

Not sure how I would view it had I not seen the prior pic, but having seen it, it appears to me like it's lost its fine aged vintage character. Curious how you see it.
