So far I've only seen the first two episodes. The production design is exceptional, as one would expect with the involvement of Ridley Scott.
And thus far I like the book better. I will have to see more episodes to see if they weave in the subtleties that PKD wove into the book.

Tropicalbob,
Thank you for the suggestion! That is a very fine watch. It looks like there is a sufficient contrast ratio between the face and the hands that should make it fairly easy to read the time. And if it's good enough for Bogart. . .

Question for you all:
I am looking for a vintage watch. However, recently I had cataract surgery and now my distant vision is great! Better then ever in my lifetime. But the side effect is my near vision is bad and I need reading glasses. I hate putting reading glasses on just to read my...

Interesting story! Might want to change your heading though. DDU is pretty meaningless today. If you add Buckminster Fuller to the header I think more people will look at this thread.
Thanks for posting!

And add some bitters for complexity and some cayenne pepper for a rather nice heat. Not too much of either though. A little paprika adds something too.
