Daytona Stopwatch Seconds Hand

[BVan]

New to the forum; just got a new to me Daytona...wondering, where do you all like to keep your stopwatch seconds hand? Thinking of keeping it at the 6 o'clock position, not to obstruct the symbol and watch description.

[OgSnowflake]

Always leave mine at 12 when not in use

[DonBateman]

I keep around the 20-25 min mark. Like you, I don't like to have it obstruct the symbol or writing.

[BVan]

I like that 4 o'clock hour, now your keeping everything from obstruction!

[breitlings]

I like to use the chrono so I keep it at 12

[watchwatcher]

I've tried various positions...the 6 o'clock is a good one. But, in reality, I've found that if it's moving that's the least "distracting."

[Forum-Dweller]

gotta have them watch descriptions, yo

[landroverking]

Where it belongs at 12 ready to engage.

[AK797]

6 is probably best.

[HogwldFLTR]

12 so it doesn't interfere with viewing the second had and so it's already to run.

[mangoseed]

What a waste of a chronograph.

[kilyung]

At 12 where it was meant to be.

[JUSTIFIED]

Didn't buy it for its intended purpose and like to see the sweeping motion. As Gomer would say....shame, shame, shame!

[RonSwanson]

I generally keep it at 12, because I do like to use it. I have heard of some strategically placing it to provide a date reading or other numeric reminder.

Moving it away from your logos seems a little over the top, but with invicta cranking out copies, you’ve got to show off that coronet I guess. Where it in health either way!

Synchronized with the seconds hand so it’s always sweeping

[Ku5165]

I once heard that keep the Chrono hand else where was and for the movement as a shock could damage/wear the "brake". Rumor? Or truth?

Keep mine at 12. Never really thought about putting it anywhere else

This.

I like the "at 12 where it was meant to be"; now, my watchmaker said that his feeling of keeping it sweeping is full time unintended use of an engine part creating ware and using oil went not necessary.

[BVan]

The idea of keeping the hand stopped full time in a non full-time position using the brake creating damage or wear is interesting; I would also like to know if this is truth or rumor?

[sdimi]

I keep mine at 4:30. I thought I was the only person who didn't keep it at 12!

[Ian Macdermott]

I take the minute hands of my Rolex as I find it hides the Rolex crown

OK it means I only know what time it is to the nearest hour but oh hum.

Leave it at 7 seconds. It really opens the whole dial up.
