Question about ROO 44 chronograph use

Hi Forum,

I have a question regarding my 44 SS ROO's chronograph mechanism.

Used my chronograph today to time some eggs. I then had to cook the eggs further as they still weren't cooked to my liking. This is when I noticed that when I restarted my chronograph, after stopping it to check on the eggs, I noticed that the watch's seconds sweep hand abruptly jumps as if it was a quartz watch tick.

Has anybody experienced this with their calibre 3126 equipped watches?

Thanks for your views.

Did it just go through a servicing? Try winding it up a little.

Mine did that once right after I got it back from clearwater. I was cussing up a storm but it never exhibited that odd behavior again.

I just tried it on mines, and it did not exhibit that behavior.

ROOs are notorious for not liking eggs, they have their own timers afterall.

Interesting that this would happen. Did it randomly work fine after some time?

And thanks to those who showed interest in the eggs. And no egg timer for me. It’s why I bought an expensive chronograph.

This happens to my watches from time to time. Odd? Yes. Faulty? Not really sure.
