Chrono watch question

[deepsea]

I'm not very keen on chrono watches and don't have any A7750 watch except for Panerai 187...

But I noticed that everyone is mentioning about slipping chrono hands...

but, I can't get the point.

If chrono hand slips;

You open the watch.

Align chrono hand.

close the watch.

(this only should take a few minutes)

Yup I know working with a watch may take hours but this is a very simple operation... We won't take apart the movt, remove the dial, remove hands etc... We will just remove case-back, remove movement head, align hand, do reverse -- we are done.

(or if you are not capable of this, any watchsmith should do it in minutes?)

So why is it a big frightening issue? Or am I missing something? What happens after this? as soon as you push the chrono button, does minute hand slip again after alignment?
