Bazz Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 (edited) This is a repost of my Omega Speedmaster from I received from EL about a year and a half ago, its such a timeless design and has such a wonderful history. I have killed the sub dial at 6 as per the original (stays at 12). The venus movement 6 sub dial follows the main hands as a 12 hour indicator and is not part of the stopwatch function.

the playful eyes Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I don't quite understand why you 'killed' the 6 o'clock sub dial. Is the 6 o'clock sub dial on the original moon watch non-functional and serves only as a cosmetic purpose? Thanks and please reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBombadil Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I don't quite understand why you 'killed' the 6 o'clock sub dial. Is the 6 o'clock sub dial on the original moon watch non-functional and serves only as a cosmetic purpose? Thanks and please reply. What he means by killing it is that it is now frozen at 12:00. In the replica, the 6:00 subdial is directly tied to the hour of the watch. So, at 2:00, the subdial shows 2:00. At 4:00, the subial shows 4:00, etc. In the genuine, the 6:00 subdial is used as an hour counter for the chronograph and thus is always at 12:00 unless the chronograph is being used. Many people freeze that sub-dial so that it appears to be part of the chronograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 (edited) @ the playful eyes Tom has explained it pretty well (ta mate), on the genuine its a 12 hour counter which stays at 12 unless you have the chrono running. As the 6 sub dial does not function as part of the chrono and follows the hour hand so I froze it, as to me a chrono that has subdials all over the place just looks wrong. Dont get me wrong I am up front with all my reps being reps I just enjoy trying to "improve" them as a bit of fun Edited March 23, 2006 by Bazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
