TimeStopper45 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hello, I just received my chrono watch (Omega SMP 300m chrono). The chrono works fine however, how do I make the big second hand tell me the time instead of the small subdial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg1459 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 big second hand is for chrono only, or u can sync it with small second hand and keep it running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 The "big hand" is the stopwatch hand. The little one is the normal seconds hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeStopper45 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Is that how it is on chrono watches usually? (big second hand for chrono)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yes that's right. The large hand counts off seconds, and the little sub-dials record the passing minutes and hours, plus the little sub-dial which is the "normal" seconds hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Not necessarily your watch, but the concept is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeStopper45 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Ah I see! I never knew this. Thanks for the clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marblegranite Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 The lap timer function of the reset button is pretty neat. Is that just for quartz watches or do some automatic genuine watches also offer that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 The lap timer function of the reset button is pretty neat. Is that just for quartz watches or do some automatic genuine watches also offer that? Only if you spend a lot of money for a ratarapant equipped movement. Where you have 2 large seconds hands and one can be paused to read the lap time and then when restarted it wil re sync to the other large seconds hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Turn it on? I suspect that you should not be buying watches, much less Reps.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Bit harsh? Perhaps. At least he asked before returning it as defective... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeStopper45 Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) This was my very first real rep as well as my very first chrono watch. And I would not have just returned it as defective I would have e-mailed dealer first if the response here was something else. And by real rep I mean with a working chronograph. The other rep I have of this watch does not have a working chronograph. And I only purchased that non chronograph rep just last month. The rep from last month month was the first rep I ever purchased So in summary, yes I am a noob when it comes to chrono watches and reps. I only joined this forum about 1.5 weeks ago because I was after one watch (the non chrono version of the SMP) but after reading some of the thread in this forum I realized that the chrono version would be a better way to go Edited May 3, 2012 by TimeStopper45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeStopper45 Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Also please understand that I am only a broke college student and do not have the money to buy nice expensive chrono watches like a lot of people here. Ive only wanted the SMP non-chrono watch since 1997 but I just didn't know that they made replica for it until very recently. And I was just planning on buying the gen in a few years when I have a real job and career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asf Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 It's ok man, your question is very legitimate. Keep having fun here and hopefully you'll participate in in the wrist checks!When I was a noob, I thought that to wind a submariner you had to twist the bezel hahaha.

TimeStopper45 Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Thanks mate. I will definitely participate in the wrist checks on this board very soon. Except Il be checking in with the same watch every time Edited May 3, 2012 by TimeStopper45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 When I was a noob, used to swirl my quartz B&R to wind it. I thought it was an undetectable rep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
