Sinc-ing a Sub.

I've had a quick search and can't find anything that covers my question...

Is there any way to set a 14060m to syncronise time, including seconds?

I've had a fiddle around and couldn't see a way, other than pulling the crown out when the second hand reached zero and setting the minutes. Is there a way to make the second hand skip to 12 O'clock?

As an asside, if this isn't possible on my 14060m do vintage fans know if it was on the MilSub? Surely that would have been a prerequisite?

Thanks guys.

All modern day Rolex plus any military watch that had a hack feature would be the same.To use hack seconds feature just pull the crown out to stop/hack the second hand.The second hand hack to where ever you stop it don't have to go to the 12 O'clock to synchronise a group of watches. Now chronographs when to stop the timing function then reset, then the second hand will return and reset to 12,O'Clock until you use the timing function again

Thanks Padi, I think I follow. So there is no way to move the second hand, just stop/start it where required? Sorry if I'm being dense, the sleep depravation is taking it's toll!

Correct. You cannot independently set the second hand...only stop it with the hack.
