I believe the coloured zone starts at the one minute mark, therefore technically still a 20 minute coloured zone, just an off-centre one. I think it's more a design decision than a functional one.

I see the baseball cap/alternative hats debate has already been discussed

Seems I don't have an original thought in my head :(

However, baseball caps always remind me of this fella

Beautiful watch, looks great with the silver dial too. Congrats!

Just for the record, I don't wear my Bremont baseball cap either! I quite like the idea of a Bremont flat cap though!

I happen to collect watch caps as well. Some I wear and many I don't. But here in the good ole USA, baseball, and apple pie are staples…so therefore so are baseball caps! :mod:

Fantastic watch. Pity about the baseball cap. (My other half tells me I look ridiculous in a baseball cap. Mind you, she says I look ridiculous in any hat.)

Is there a hat that normal men (i.e. ones who have perhaps - perhaps - started thinning, just a little, on top) can wear and not look a prat? I feel a separate thread coming on...

i think you have to find the hat that fits your head shape/face. there's no one fits all thing (and a baseball cap may be as close to universal as there is, but it's *really* casual).

personally, i have three styles. baseball for casual, two different porkpies (straw for summer, felt for winter), and a panama hat.

About the ONLY hat my wife feels does not think looks ridiculous on me is a baseball cap! #-o
