I recently got a daytona ss. The second hand of the chrono is about 1/5 of a second off the 12 o'clock position. Is this normal or is this something I should have re-aligned?

You can see what I mean in this picture.

The one I had was the same

walds11 · 25 December 2008, 09:02 PM

Seems normal. Well, maybe not normal, but common. I had three SS Daytonas and currently have one. I remember a few of them being slightly off

I'm sure it can be corrected by Rolex. If it doesn't bother you wait until the first service and mention it then.

Mine splits the crown perfectly - get it sorted.

That would hack me off big time!!

Why don't you try resetting it?

I have tried resetting it quite a few times. It always goes back to this position.

It would bug me in the extreme! That hand should be perfect. It is a Rolex!

I would have to get it fixed.

ohsixx · 26 December 2008, 04:34 AM

What happens if you try stopping at 59 seconds?

scottschoe · 26 December 2008, 04:56 AM

It's semi-normal....not worth a trip back to the RSC though.

Felly Jr. · 26 December 2008, 05:22 AM

I've owned over a dozen SS Daytona's and can only recall ONE being perfectly centered! Believe me, it's the first thing I check when I get one. I've grown to live with it and accept it but if it REALLY bugs you then you must send it in and they can fix it.

I agree - the fact that you've asked the question indicates to me that it bugs you, so I'd say better to have it properly realigned.

Par for the course ..... its a white face after all

CPCC · 27 December 2008, 03:28 PM

10k, get it fixed.

Agreed.....and remember, guys.....here's one more item to check at the time of purchase BEFORE plonking down a single cent.

JJ, if you walked into an AD and had a choice of 4 or 5 white SS Daytonas then yes, scope each one and make sure the one you get is perfect but to be fair this is not a common occurrence.

cody p · 27 December 2008, 03:42 PM

if it ain't broke don't fix it. my 2 cents.

I suppose you're right, Eddie!!

That's what I say.

Have to agree but let AD know of the slight problem, its far better to wait until first service is due, pointless cracking open the case for something so minor IMHO.

Felly Jr. · 27 December 2008, 09:10 PM

Leave the chrono hand running when you wear it. Then it won't matter a bit.
