Reading the time for 5224?

For owners how is reading the time for the 5224? Is it something that's just not gonna be quick like a regulator, or is it generally not that bad? I like that there's an inner track and that the display is inverted but i weirdly have never owned or used a GMT

I'd suggest even lookers or buyers couldn't tell you what time it is using that dial.

If I traveled a lot for business this would be a nice watch but I just do not have enough use for a dressier GMT. For me Id have to have a few other models before Id add this to a collection
But in answer to your question I do not have any issue telling the time on it
If you like it I would suggest getting it, its not a common Patek to see in the wild.

I actually use 24 hr time on my digital clocks (car and home) and the couple digital watches I own. So the more I look at this the more I like it but as said I have a few other pieces Id want before this.

It’s fabulous, not for telling the time, but for taking the road less traveled, doing something different, cutting your own line, breaking your own trail. This is that watch.
