Update: Ran to 26m, stopped and reset, no issue. Retrying 21m again to see if it’s repeatable or intermittent. Trying out my 160 too just in case

Adam why did you have to do this. My Ice King has the same freaking phenomenon!! I ran the chrono til 26 min and when resetting the minute hand it resets in the middle between 29 and 30 🤬

This and the handicapped Breitling stutter of the chrono seconds hand makes me love my H01 movement even more 🤦

Sorry man :/ My 160 did not feature the issue when I tried it, and my Dato did not repeat the second time I ran it to 21.

However, remember the reason I don't have my Siffert Autavia is because it had a similar issue (with the hour counter as I recall) and it went "missing" during servicing.

Not a huge fan of the H02

I'm not even going to try mine. I don't use the chrono that much and when I do, it's usually not for more than a few minutes. Haven't noticed any issue with hand resetting and have used it a fair few times, though.

Wise choice! Same for me, hardly ever use the chrono at all

I'll use it sometimes, but usually only for a couple minutes. At least with this issue, it goes right back to 30 if I just run the chrono again for a couple seconds, then stop and reset. So for me, not the biggest deal.

It’s just been banana and toasted roll with coffee here, watch on wrist, Mmmm.

I use the timer occasionally for parking meter duties, reset without looking to see if all hands zero, would be handy to have a countdown facility, my Rado does, but it’s digital and honestly, can’t remember the last time it was worn.

You will have great chances if you are more than willing to lighten up your wallet (or credit card) 😉😉

Patience is a virtue sir 👍 We will have our “time”

I also would like to have a black dial “Heuer” glassbox someday. Plus I like it with two or three subdials the least 😀

Still a few around no? These flippers might be willing to accept offers if they haven’t sold by now. After these stocks dry up it might get more difficult.
