Very cool and fairly unique Chrono feature. Yes that's the power reserve, 70ish hours which is really nice.

Edit: It's an hour counter.

"The 30-minute counter is positioned at 3 o'clock and the 12-hour counter is visible in the aperture at 12 o'clock."

Btw how does the chrono display work? What's the top numeral indicator?


I hate to say it I have no clue and the manual didn't say much. Also not certain what the gauge does in the seconds counter that slowly fills either. Maybe a power reserve?
Life goals here. Buying 5 figure watch without knowing what/how the features work.

To be fair, no one uses the watch complications for much if anything at all; and most of them are downright useless. Maybe GMT is the only useful one to some, but that's about it.

In before the Tudor home boys tell me how they time the perfect steak sear multiple times per week using their black bay.

I have actually used a chrono to take a pulse once

When I wear my Monaco, my kids often ask me to time them running from one random point to another.

Haha, well that could have been a lifesaver. Did you ever time a regatta start with your YM2? Kidding aside that is probably the most unique complication Rolex has.

When I'm months In to a work trip and every day is the exact same I wear my skx 007 just so I know what day it is. Maybe I I need to start looking at day/dates.

I was going to mention it. I watched a YouTube on how to do it and still don't understand

I'll give you the date, that's somewhat regularly useful although it's so prevalent i didn't consider it a true complication. I too thought that a day/date or annual calendar would be nice for the few days per year i forget what day it is. But then I realized that the odds of me wearing a watch like that on **** off days is minimal to none. And I hate watch winders as I like to adjust and set the watches regularly.

You need to catch a regatta race on ESPN to truly get it.

I guess you can use it to time a perfect poached egg in the meantime.

I couldn't wear a watch without the date. I sign my name so many times a day at work and whether habit or necessity, I look at my watch EVERY TIME I sign my name. I signed 7 purchase authorizations back to back today and I swear I looked at it every time. I reckon there is a little bit of both habit and necessity.

I don't think I've ever owned a watch with a date window. I wear this cheap Steinhart 97% of the time. And very bizarrely I look at my wrist several times a week when I'm trying to think of the day or th date.

This is my favorite true sports day date imo. Time for an upgrade?

I have some wider ones but for some reason I've always preferred understrapped.

Oh I'm dreaming alright. Of a Nautilus.
MemorialTXAg
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Well, it's doable. But it must be the most expensive serial production stainless steel watch out there these days.

I had a white one on my wrist (not mine) this Friday at lunch. Completely beat up and never polished. It was glorious. No idea how to post pictures sadly.

Buddy walked into a store in Europe in 2015, had a mutual friend with the AD, and walked away with a white one at MARP minus 20% vat. I called the same AD 2 years later looking for something else and he still remembered. Said it was the last Nautilus he ever sold to someone who had zero prior history and laughed that he can't believe how lucky my buddy got.

picking up my new seamaster today. I have a bit of excitement as well as guilt because my wife actually let me get it.

I work a lot in classed areas where you can't have a cell phone so I use my Monaco to time things when others can't. I also dive a lot and have had my dive computer unexpectedly run out of battery underwater so I always dive with my dive watch as a back up and use the bezel.

Got it for Retail. Turns out I had a uber Rolex connection that I didn't realize.

Can't go back to that well again anytime soon, but this was pretty much my grail, so I'm done for a long while.

Can you speak to what's going on with Omega and their elimination of discounts? Effect on grey and used market? RVAg02, hopefully you got in at a good price.
