IS THERE A WAY TO RUN THE SECOND HAND WITHOUT USING IT IN A TIMER MODE? ALSO HOW LONG SHOULD A WATCH BATTERY LAST IN THIS WATCH? HOW MANY BATTERIES DOES IT TAKE?
LASTLY THE 1/10 SECOND SWEEP HAND DOES NOT REST TO " 0 " BUT RESETS ALWAYS TO JUST A SKOSH BEFORE THE 9? IS IT BROKEN?
yHANK YOU - ED TRIBOU - BEVERLY, MA
Hi Ed,
I have been in the industry for the past 2 years as a watchmaker's assistant. So I'll see if I can help.
The larger second hand you see in this Chronograph model, using it is only available in the Chronograph mode.
How long a battery should last (if I had a dollar for everytime I've heard that one! :)
Well generally a battery should last about 2 years. It all depends on how many functions that watch has, as for a chrono the more you use that function the more the battery power it uses. I have not seen this watch but as it looks to be the 'standard' kind of format of a chronograph, just one battery would surfice.
In regards to 1/10 lap, please take the to a watchmaker as the hands need to be reset, this either can be done manually or can be done by pulling out the crown slightly (please as if you are to forcefull you will pull the crown and stem out) NOT GOOD!. if you pull it out to 'quick date change' where only the date can be changed try pressing one of the pushers and see which sub dial hands move, if that doesn't work try the other pusher.
Again if the above doesn't work, pull the crown out to time set mode (where you can adjust the time) and try the same steps as above. If this fails and it's still off, take it to a watchmaker and he/she will realign the hands for you!
Kind Regards
