Not to be rude, but it’s pretty insane to have what I suspect is about a $50k chronograph and be scared to use the chronograph function because it’s so problematic.

I know. I loved this watch so much. Then 1 month later had to get them to fix it. The subdial drift issue. Only took 3 weeks to fix. yay! Now I’m afraid to use the chrono. But in my defense I’ve been wearing the 42 green diver everyday.

I did run the chrono for about 3 hours one day. And it seems to reset fine and stay in place at rest. So that was good.

Picked up the 43mm ROO ceramic in October and I already noticed the minutes sub dial creeping away. It is not as bad as some of them that go halfway (mine just creeps to about 2 or 3 minutes).

Boutique says to send it in for a complete maintenance service and will take 4-6 weeks. I would probably wear it till after Christmas and then send it in.

Don’t worry guys, our chronos will be worth way more in 20 years and will be a collectors item due to the faulty movement ��

It’s annoying for sure, but I believe it’s a relatively short turnaround time to fix it. It almost seems like for a certain run it’s a matter of ‘when’ instead of ‘if’.
Yes, i started noticing it after using the chronograph from time to time.
