This is my Zenith, this is my perfect zenith.
How does it look chaps? I traded my rattly old 16613 for it. I'm over the moon except I don't know how to use the complications...I can work out how the stop watch works but that's it.

Big Congrats! It's easy - the top is the start/stop & the bottom is your reset.

The sub dial at 9 is the seconds hand, at 3 is the minute recorder for the chrono and the hour recorder is at 6

Ok. I'm learning. I just want to make sure the movement is in working order. The 6 and 3 subdails don't seem to be moving...

They won't unless the chronograph (stop watch) is engaged.

Ah, thanks very much for that. I would never have noticed. Just waiting on the hours now. :D

Congratulations on a fine aquisition!

The right subdial revolves every 30 minutes. The bottom subdial revolves once ever 12 hours. The hands snap over smartly on the minute/hour. Top button = start/stop. Bottom = reset. To set the time accurately, you can hold a little back twist on the crown to stop or slightly reverse the left subdial sweep second hand.
