Yes it is a funky little dial. I don't have enough characters to fully explain it here without starting a thread, so I cheated and shoved it all in the alt text. 🤷
#WristCheck (but not really, since it is a pocket watch).

A pocket watch held in hand, behind which is an unfocussed room. The watch has twelve Shíchen (double hour) markers represented by the Earthly Branches, as also used in the "Chinese zodiac". Inside those markers it has two sets of twelve Roman Numerals to show the twenty-four "normal" hours of a day [the watch has a twenty-four hour movement, so the hour hand only completes one revolution per day]. Around the very outer edge are eight Kè references to represent the total per Shíchen and so impl…

OK we are into Hai (亥) 🐖 now. Getting late. 😉

#PalmCheck 🤣

Pocket watch in the palm of my hand. It has a 24 hour movement showing the time with Roman Numerals and also Shíchen (时辰). An old Chinese timekeeping system that divides the day into 12 two-hour periods, each represented by a zodiac animal. The time shown is 21.07.

Time for the jump hour I reckon.
#WristCheck

A watch with a jump hour complication. The dial is salmon colour, with blue hands. Worn on a hairy wrist with a burgundy background and matching coloured strap. The time is 9:41.

This is probably a step too far even for me. 🤪

I spent something like $15🇺🇸 on this (mechanical) watch. Absolutely crazy!

Anyone want to guess the time?
Hints:
1. Base three
2. Look at the state of the teeth
P.S. Full explanation:

Good night all! 💤
#WristCheck (kinda)

A pocket watch with Chinese Shíchen (時辰) in an outer ring and a double set of 12 Roman Numerals on an inner ring, covering a 24 hour range. The hour hand is pointing just after an Ⅺ marker and the minute hand is at 25 past. However since the hour hand is within the 子 area, we know this is night and thus 11:25PM/23:25. The markings are all light blue on a white background. There is some distortion due to the domed crystal and the viewing angle. The watch has a steel case and is attached to a da…

This reads like a warning. So is cURL like nuts? Are people allergic to cURL!?
@… my watch might contain your software, maybe. They aren't 100% sure though. 🤷 🤣
[Note to reader, it almost certainly does contain cURL. I would be shocked if it did not!]
