Haha, I have not been able to figure out how the use the other two dials (3:00 and 6:00) on my Parnis 50mm. The hands are real...they aren't just for looks. I mean it's a Miyota movement, so i assume there is a way to work them. Everything else works, both second hands work as they should. Do any of you guys know anything about this? I have looked on google and I can't seem to find any instructions about it. The bottom button starts and stops the stop watch hand (big second hand) and the top button resets it to the 12 position. So, I just have no idea how to work the other two dials.

I was embarrassed to ask this, but oh well.	Lawrence Talbot	182	January 31, 2013 11:10PM
Thanks to you both! The 6:00 dial is minutes, and the 3:00 is hours.	Lawrence Talbot	55	February 01, 2013 12:20AM
No problem. Thanks for the opportunity for me to feel smart today. (n/t)	Chris L	30	February 01, 2013 12:34AM
LOL, ur most certainly welcome. (n/t)	Lawrence Talbot	35	February 01, 2013 12:37AM

Oh, Anjan. Please correct me if I am wrong....	Dave M	46	February 01, 2013 02:38AM
look at this jaeger >>	anjizkit	49	February 01, 2013 05:11AM
Two things, Anjan...	Dave M	36	February 01, 2013 11:32AM
about the 33 mins.... most chronos i have.. the min counter 'jumps'	anjizkit	26	February 01, 2013 10:31PM
Good illustrative example! Thanks for posting it! (n/t)	benhemp	29	February 01, 2013 05:20AM
All good (n/t)	anjizkit	35	February 01, 2013 05:40AM
Puzzled: where would the subdial at 3 point for 10 hours 36 minutes?	benhemp	52	February 01, 2013 03:52AM
Answering my own question: 6 mins and 36 mins are indistinguishable	benhemp	28	February 01, 2013 04:40AM
i like the omega... but working with 2 subdials and a sweep sec hands to count the time has its own old-school charm >>	anjizkit	34	February 01, 2013 05:09AM
no... its very easy to differentiate 6 vs 36 >>	anjizkit	38	February 01, 2013 05:05AM
Agreed: you can tell, but only by carefully looking at the hours register. (n/t)	benhemp	32	February 01, 2013 05:19AM
yeah u r right... i messed up my subdials... not wearing my chrono either... (n/t)	anjizkit	30	February 01, 2013 03:51AM
Oops, sorry, I didn't see your response down here. (n/t)	Dave M	37	February 01, 2013 11:34AM
I concur if Anjan won't.	Chris L	36	February 01, 2013 03:05AM
yeah Chris.. the subdial min hand 'jumps' while the subdial hr hand is incremental... sweeps (n/t)	anjizkit	50	February 01, 2013 03:52AM
Ah ok, gotcha. Thanks for the lesson (n/t)	Lawrence Talbot	48	February 01, 2013 12:13AM
I felt stupid asking, but I guess thats how to learn. (n/t)	Lawrence Talbot	50	February 01, 2013 12:14AM
Remember, there are no stupid questions... only stupid people! (n/t)	Nuvolari	39	February 01, 2013 06:05AM
A chronograph should have one dial register minutes, the other hours.	Chris L	38	January 31, 2013 11:41PM
That i have not. By chronograph, you mean the bg seconds hand right? Boy I am really showing my ignorance here. haha (n/t)	Lawrence Talbot	39	January 31, 2013 11:45PM
Yes. The "stopwatch" function.	Chris L	38	February 01, 2013 12:12AM
Thanks man. I'm letting it run now. Sorry for the lack of info on my part. (n/t)	Lawrence Talbot	49	February 01, 2013 12:16AM
