I know it has to measure something... such as average speed? But can anyone please refer me to a site that describes such usage for the Tach on the Daytona?

Daytona-specific would be great! And here's a pic of what I'm wearing today just because:

AND THANKS!!!

Here's to start you off:

Measuring average speed of say, a car. You simply time how long it takes for the moving car to cover say, 1 mile or 1 kilometer and the you refer to the scale on the tachy where the large second hand is pointing. So... if it takes you one minute to cover 1 mile, then yo'll read 60 off the tachy meaning you covered the distance at a speed of 60mph.

The Daytona manual comes with instructions on how to use the tachymeter.

Probably the most common...and the most useless "complication" on chronos. Sorry, but to me this is a decoration.

It's a good one when you're a passenger in someone's car and boredom's infected your mind on a cross country drive...

Never mind the tach.....that's one helluva superb picture!!

I feel like a tach is useful, but it should not occupy the premium real estate of the outer bezel. The best tach and bezel arangement I've seen is on my Seiko. You get the very useful bidirectional elapsed time bezel with pearl, then, since a tach never moves, let it live on the chapter ring.

Beautiful IWC, btw.

Nice IWC! Is this a current model, and what ref. # has it?

As for the use of the tachymetre scale of the Daytona, maybe this booklet can be of use:

Indeed! I had an IWC "Doppelchronograph" once (got it for an SS Daytona 16520).

I'd love to see a lume shot of that IWC!

love the lume on this thing... it's actually a sweet blue tint, unlike any other "greenish" luminova i've ever seen.

Here it is next to an M LV:

VERY nice lume of that IWC, indeed!

Thanks for posting the pic!

What model number has that IWC, and is it still availible in the IWC programme? IWC seems to change models very often

Just use a simple Panasonic digicam w/ Leica lens. It's all about the lighting! Here's to keeping it Rolex-related. A favorite of mine I took 3 months ago. I call it "Flat Four"
