Daytona Flash clock COMPLETED and LIVE!!!!!

After many hours my Daytona Flash clock is finished! I had a really good time building it and I enjoyed sharing the designs with you all as I built it. Thanks everyone for all the compliments along the way, and thanks to Bo for helping me get the fine details looking right. Building this clock was Bo's idea, so I guess I'll send him the bill.

Enough of my typing.... HERE IT IS!!!!!

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE CLOCK!!!

Very nice, but... I'm showing it about 5 seconds fast???? Do you have some server latency compensation going on with your link to NIST?

Not sure but I think the time is read of your own computer clock.

It is an easy fix! Just take it to an AD and have it regulated. Should take no more than ½ an hour. Or wait a month's time to let it settle in! Afterall, it IS a new watch!



Please just reset your PC clock bottom right to the exact time, and the flash clock will show the exact time.
