Hello fellas;

quick question: if my Daytona had the Chrono running and it stops after being in storage, should I re-set the Chrono before winding it or just wind the watch and have the Chrono start back again? not sure if one or either is more "stressful" to the mechanism.

cheers

I wouldn’t imagine it would matter either way.

Either way you should be fine. The 4130 movement is a rock solid movement, so no worries. If I've forgotten about leaving the chrono running when it winds down, odds are I'll forget about it when I wind it back up. Happened many a time.

The most stressful thing we typically do to our watches is to hack the hands when the movement is fully wound. Other than that, any effects of the chrono running are fairly negligible. Which is one of my favorite things about the Daytona.

The 4130 movement has a vertical clutch so you can alter the time when you want, run the Chronograph when you want and anything else you wish to do. All without harming the movement.

I would wind it first and get it going then reset and fully wind.

I don't think the reset will work without the energy stored in the movement. Wind then reset.

What does it mean to “hack the hands”?

i don't know if theres a right or wrong, technically speaking. My instinct would be to let the watch start back up with a full wind and some wrist movement, then stop the chrono and then reset it.

Wind it fully and hit the reset pusher. No harm done.

I get the sense this is safer (just a haunch), simply because it allows for the proper steps of stopping the chronograph with the pusher at 2:00 before pressing the rest pusher at 4:00.

Interesting. How so? Not challenging this, just interested in learning.

I have also sometimes forgotten it running while storage the watch, but the next time when wearing it I have wound it, reset the time and then started the Chronograph and stopped it.

When you pull out the crown and the time stops. Seems simple but some watches don't do this. And some you have to do a little trick like winding the time backward just a bit to stop it.

To OP, it shouldn't matter either way.

Doesn't the reset also run off the mainspring. If mainspring is fully spent the reset will move but not fully return to 12.

That wouldn't change anything IMO
