No, that is not a fucking "24 Hour Watch"

I swear to whatever deity exists, I will track down and slaughter the next person I see on eBay calling a watch "24 hour" when it has an hour hand that completes one revolution every twelve hours.  I do not care that it has 13 through 24 printed in tiny figures around the inside of the big numbers.  It still isn't a 24 hour watch.  You are not helping me.  You are not helping yourself.  You are not helping anyone by forcing those of us looking for a real 24 hour watch, one with an hour hand that goes around once in 24 damn hours, to wade through tons of cheap watches that, despite what you say, can only count to twelve.

Or maybe the problem is that some people think that means it keeps time 24 hours a day, and there are watches that take breaks now and then, hm? Fuck.

I can't even bitch coherently about this because I'm so irritated.
