I'm  still up in the air about what time to put on an invitation, and 
whether there  might be something wrong (at least on a personal, 
spirit-of-the-law level) with  setting one's wristwatch to another time.

There is a hint in halacha that it is OK to set your wristwatch ahead,  
because we human beings actually never can know to the second exactly what time 
 it is.  That's why we add extra minutes to the beginning and end of  
Shabbos.  In contrast,Hashem Himself does know to the second what time  Shabbos 
begins (and created a few things, like the donkey's mouth and Korach's  pit, 
at a time that for humans would have already been Shabbos -- see Pirkei  
Avos).
