The chrono gears are working even when the chrono function is not running, adding premature wear. The module requires special tools and most modules are just replaced instead of repaired.

Thanks for that tidbit Dan!

Great looking watch but I think its a shame they upsized it to 42mm.

The original in 40mm was timeless and classic looking but this is too big and blingy IMO (at least on my 7.4" wrist).
