New SMP Chrono, Fixed Pearl?

[paladin]

I just got a new SMP Chrono from precious time. It looks like, to me anyway, that they have fixed the oversized pearl that many reps face, let me know if you think the same:

I have one question for you pro's though It seems that when i reset the chrono, the 12:00 dial will reset properly and the chrono hand resets, but my 6:00 dial does not. Is this typical?

Just to clarify your question- Is the 6:00 (elapsed hours) subdial not resetting to '12' exactly (i.e. it resets to a little before or after 12, or possibly elsewhere within the subdial), or is it not resetting at all?

Not resetting at all. stuck at the 1.5 hour mark. I think it still advances time though when the chrono is running (testing that out now as i write this).

Try setting the chrono running for an hour or so to get the hour counter dial moving. Then stop the chrono as normal with the 2 o'clock button, and reset with the 4'o'clock. But instead of pressing and releasing immediately, hold the button in, the hand will usually creep back at this point. I have had a few 7750's be a little reluctant at first like this, but this has always got them to return properly.

This worked I let it go on for a few hours and tried resetting. I guess it just needed a little help

Thanks for the tip.

Nice bit of kit.

Do there normally come from the dealers with the bezel aligned, or were you just lucky?

Pearl looks the same as always, just touching the edge of the triangle. BTW, I've done an in depth review of this watch that I'm hoping to post this weekend.

Congrats, beautiful watch!

This is a killer watch... but impossible to take a good photo of thanks to that ultra reflective crystal!

I bought mine a long time ago. Here is a similar photo for comparison:

Tremendous tremendous thing I love it to death.

lets turn this into a pic thread!
