Finally made my way over to the Newport store this weekend. Great selection and super friendly staff. Added a few to the "want" list, but unfortunately am currently in browse mode only😅 Will definitely head back over when the finances get lined up!
nice... but why do the Japanese watch Companies seem to use hands that are just a little too small for the watch....???? the minute hand and the chrono hand need to be longer...IMHO
You can't go wrong with citizen. I have "collection" of two watches right now and they are both from citizen. They are relliable I don't baby them at all and they are still fine.
My watch won't reset the red chronograph needle back to the 12 o clock position. It's never been in any sort of an accident or anything. Any advice guys?
To reset the chrono hands, try this: Pull the crown all the way out as if you are going to adjust the time (Position 2) Press and hold BOTH chrono pushers (simultaneously) for 2-3 seconds When the central (chrono) seconds hand makes a rapid clockwise revolution, release the pushers. Now, depress the top pusher (at 2 oclock) to advance the central seconds hand to the 12 position. If you accidentally pass it, just press and hold that same button (or press it repeatedly) to advance it back around to 12. When you have it where you want it, return the crown to the "run" or zero position. Done!
When it comes to these solar chronographs (Citizen & Seiko) why does no one bring up the useless 24hr subdial? Why are these movements manufactured with pointless complication? If the third subdial is not an hour counter than might as well just make the chrono with only two subdials. Again, the 24hr subdial is absurd.
This watch looks really nice, fits into my watch budget. Unfortunately not a blue dial, looks more like grey. This watch style is more like a fieldwatch / Chrono I guess.
Typically the chronograph hand color matches the chronograph sub-dial hands not the small seconds hand. And why the Asians include a 24 hour dial instead of a 12 hr. totalizer, I cannot figure, other than nobody would use a stopwatch function for such long duration.
