Why not just set it to Zulu, I mean GMT, and forget about it until,the battery dies in about 4 years.

OK, I could not stand it any longer, have one on the way as well, straight from the company. At my age, I am not too worried about how to reset it.

Default I wanted to add some analog to my digital panel

Here is how I mounted my $17 watch. It survived a .6 hr test flight the other day.

You are lucky, mine arrived, dead on arrival, never ticked a tick. I am waiting for replacement, I think they said they would just send me the guts of the watch.

Thanks for the tip on the watch.

I have no need for a clock in the plane, but I'm always on the watch (pun intended) for a good watch with LARGE numbers. Every one I own has teeny-tiny little numbers, bunches of dials and stuff -- it would be nice to have one that JUST TELLS TIME and I can read without my glasses!

I think I just found it, thanks!

Default Looks Great !

WOW that looks Great !
Now if you drill a Hole to the rt. of 3 o'clock Big enough to view the STEM , 3/16" or so , you could use a eye glass screwdriver to pry the STEM "out"
then rotate the STEM till the time is set , and pry/push the STEM back in and VOILA the time can be set !
