Are you following the instructions? I think it specifically says do not reset while running the stopwatch? (stop, then reset?)
(Just throwing out something that might be helpful, that is all.)

Common problem with some Chronographs.
But I've never had the problem with a new Daytona. Any idea how long it sat at the AD? |

Mine did that one time only. Not sure what I did, but I re-set it and it never happened again.

Sadly, rare yet happens. Service or swap it. Service may take 3 to 5 weeks is my guess.

Since you just got it, I'd tell them you want a new one. Take it right back with the stickers still on it. Good luck!

A very simple fix the hand just wants to be removed and reset.

He will just send it back to Rolex or have it serviced and re sell it as Brand New to some unsuspecting customers
