Time would first show as 5:55.
The later time would show , for all digits identical, as 11:11.

11:11 MINUS 5:55, ;
11 hour 11 minutes MINUS 5 hours 55 minutes
10 hours 60+11 minutes MINUS 5 hours 55 minutes
5 hours 16 minutes

Time passage in mixed units,
5 hours 16 minutes.

Total as minutes,
316 minutes.
