Because UTC time is so common in aviation, I was wondering if there is any watch out there that can help me convert UTC to LT at a glance.

As for offering to "take a bullet for Vlad Putin, because he's a first class person", he would be surprised by how many fully supported him in his offer: please step forward, Ecclestone.
