Love my new Speedy Pro Moonphase as daily wearer. The fact the chronograph second hand obscures the moon phase (at 12) is bit annoying but I also find the static second hand can be a distraction when telling the time. I prefer 1) a moving hand or b) to stop the chrono second somewhere else on the dial and leave it there (not helping seeing the time issue but at least making the moon phase visible).

Will either letting it run continuously or stopping it away from 12 have any impact on the movement?

Excuse if discussed before - cannot find a link via search.

Many thanks

No it will only decrease the power reserve slightly

When you see photos most people have theirs in another position for that fact, or it looks better seeing the logo, etc.
Start it and park it somewhere you like.

Whenever I wear my Speedy FOIS, I usually let the chrono run. I'll stop it every few hours and restart it though.
