Hahahahahaha.... thanks SD, I'll make an appointment directly. First I think I'll sync up my PC and see if that does the trick.

As in real life... The 'seconds' hand only moves when the chronograph function is engaged. Seconds are read on the sub-dial @ 6 o'clock...

The seconds hand is on the small dial at the bottom of the clock.

To perform the screensaver function seems like it would be better to have the larger second hand moving.

Update!

I spent a few hours and got the chrono hands working. You can't reset them - they run continuously. This helps make the watch a little more exciting to look at. I haven't uploaded the new file yet, but I will this evening. I'll post another update here when it's available.

Enough of my typing.... HERE IT IS!!!!!

Sorry to point out to you your clock is set to the chrono hand and the the secondhand on the subdial.

The chrono hand uses the same code as the seconds hand. The second has is set to run -60 degrees (10 secs) behind the chrono hand. This keeps the two from running identicle. And you thought I didn't already know.
