I saw this near mint Swiss made vintage watch and could not resist the subdial second hand!!! It is not 100% PERFECT but I can't complain as to get a vintage watch in this condition is enough to satisfy me.  And I did not know what the hell is that extra crown/button at 2 o'clock until I got it today!!! Anyone knows what is that button? Make a wild guess!   |

Nice Jacky...............that extra button may be used to set the date, just like on many Orient watches! |

Think you're right about that, KenC..........have one Orient and have seen others. :) He'll let us know, won't he? That seems to be the way things work here from what I've noted. ;) KenC wrote: Nice Jacky...............that extra button may be used to set the date, just like on many Orient watches! |

I believe it is the pusher for the chrono (stopwatch) function. Last edited on Thu Feb 23rd, 2006 10:47 am by Edgel |

Ken & 4onthefloor, I thought it was date setting too before I bought it but Edgel is right! It is stopwatch but a really WEIRD ONE!!! Here is how it works...... First press, it will not "MOVE" but actually started timing and is moving in "hyperspace" time and will move one deviation in ONE MINUTE! So it will move 5 deviations in 5 mins! Now here is the "WEIRD" part..... the second press will return it to 12 o'clock!!! Thus it does not have a "STOP" function but a "START" and "RESET" functions!!!  WEIRD??? |
