Daytona Chronograph sweep hand
To those of you who own the above watch, where do you store/stop the long sweep hand?
I keep my long sweep hand @ the 9 marker, so as not to intrude/hide the Daytona inscription in the near center of the dial, and so as not to intrude/hide any of the Rolex (Oyster Perpetual/Superlative Chronometer/Officially Certified/Cosmograph) inscription and/or the Rolex crown inscription @ the top of the 12 marker. Am I the only one who is this OCD? Does anyone have a better idea? Cheers, B |

That is something I never thought about.
I always set mine at 12.

I never really thought about doing that , but the chrono's second hand is so thin that it really doesn't bother me. I really don't think reset/zero is that bad is it?

When hand is reset to 12 it will take less time to use the function the watch was designed for. OMHO

12 for me too. If you had OCD, the second hand sitting lopsided at the 9 would drive you more nuts.

I have tried it at 6 and 9. Ultimately I like it constantly moving but I don't fancy paying for ab early service

All I can say is - Wow!!!! Cancel the consoling and put the money towards a Sub to take your mind off your Daytona. Please do not be offended. But, my God - what can I say?

When I had my Daytona's I always let it run as I liked to see it "sweeping" too... If not it was at the 12
