If its cloudy day, open a knife and hold it horizontally over a light, even surface. Such as a book or flat rock, with the blade turned vertically as though you were slicing. Turn it until the shadow cast by it's edge is narrowest, or the shadow is the same width on either side of the blade. This indicates the direction of the sun. Just because it’s a cloudy day doesn't change the fact the fact that Earth's source of light radiates from a single point. Mark each end of the knife on a flat surface. An hour later. place the butt of the knife where it was before, and pivot the knife until once again the shadow of the blade is narrowest. A line draw from tip to tip will go east to west.

If you want to read more about it lol get the book

I got a job at IBM where I have to dress up (No more jeans and G-Force shirts ) so I bought some watches to go with my snazzy new outfits. One is a Fossil that I wear a lot and it's great cause I scratch the crap out of it but it doesn't really matter cause it was only $100. The other is a Kenneth Cole that I got at Ross for $30 bucks. I wear that one when I have customers that I have to entertain.

I have always wanted to know why people spend more than $50.00 for a watch if all there using it for is to tell time? Can't wait for the show us your tie collection thread next, haha j/k.

It's basically something that 90% of the time holds its value. Lets say I spend $10k on a Rolex SS Daytona ... It will only go up in value... Lets say I spend $10k on my car... You will get $2k back when selling it...

I was going to ask this question thank you for replying back.

So you spend 10k you could get 9k back if you sold it later?

In all reality the Citizens are almost always dead because I forget to put them in sunlight, The Breitling has to be wound up every other day(which kinda sucks for a watch that cost as much as it did) and I have never really liked the Tag.
