Same thought process on a 6497 movement also, but only every two days with a buffer of 12 hours so you don't have to wind it eactly on the hour.

The PR indicator would add more components and cost to the movement I'm assuming. I'll bet they'll add it in the future, but they'll want at least 10% more.
Thanks Mik. That does make sense. I guess it's hard for me to get my head around it because I wear different watches at different time (depending on my mood) and would have a harder time with this practice unless it became a ritual.
