Corgi Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Sorry about off-topic, but wouldn't the seconds-at-six layout here be just as unreliable as the Daytona? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Still slightly off but i have one for about a year now and have had no probs, there is a thread about reliability of the porto chrono in the IWC area. Back on topic, i dont think it does, the reverse of it would be fine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchpot Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Cos i cant find it on the web! Yes, this dial variant does exist in the real world. It's colloquially known as the "Panda". I don't know if it's still a current model though. @ corgi, yes you are correct, although I am one of the lucky ones in that mine has been working without fault for about a year now.

ck986 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I think it was only available over seas a couple years back. I have had mine for about a year now and it still works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Cos i cant find it on the web! Yes, this one is based on a real version. And yes, the seconds-at-six can cause problems. My own Porto Chrono doesn't run at all well. I'll be disabling the running seconds soon in the hope that it fixes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I'll be disabling the running seconds soon in the hope that it fixes it. Aren't you disappointed that doing so will completely ruin the appearance of the watch? The classic question... is it better to live in a state of perpetual paralysis and misery than to live at all? I know the feeling, though, these stupid crappy junk movements are the only things separating me from my dream watch - the Daytona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
