yeah using our lack of memory they swithc:

the sun dial by the minute dial

the moon dial by the hour dial

and the most sanguineous, the sunset count by the 2nd dial

also they switch the 28 hour dial by 12 hour

so now remember this is a really mans watch who travels around eithar by plane sail or on foot



shows local sun time, shows local moon time, shows grenwhich local time of both sun and moon, SHOWS LONGITUDE, shows true north more precise than a compass

IN FACT IS SO COOL ITS MADE OF PAPER SO YOU COULD WIPE your bunghole with it if you were really desperate
now this is useless crab for preppy sissies:



oh wait but it has some wings drawn

edit:

seems the true calendar is been supressed-forgotten as well:

not really

is a sun moon dial

what has been supressed through history is the 28 hour graduation and the count of sunrises(or sunsets) dial

this supresion turn the clock in a useless pos

again check out the funtionability any kid could get from this WORKING paper sun-moon-count of days dial with 5 minutes explnation

shows local sun time, shows local moon time, shows grenwhich local time of both sun and moon, SHOWS LONGITUDE, shows true north more precise than a compass(though still figuring out the north thing but have to can be done)

I'm beginning to see why Drake and Nelson felt so confident.
