    People have been speaking very highly of those.

    I’ve got one.
    Very, very legible and very accurate.
    I love how the second and minute hands whizz round at slightly different times when you reset them
    The screw down crown has a nice smooth action and it seems very well put together.
    It’s also extremely comfy on the original Kevlar strap.Cheers,
    Rob

    Does the second hand move when in normal state. Or is it only after pressing one of the buttons.

    Only in chrono mode.
    You could just leave it running but you’d have 2 extra hands moving around the dial then.

    Just had a look at them, not a bad looking watch at all.
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    Thanks. It's a very appealing looking watch but I prefer to see movement. Also 13mm seems quite thick for a 42mm quartz.

    The chrono will stop after 1 hour.

    How is the lume?
    Seems like a nice pilot quartz.

    I really like the idea of reusing the minute and hour hands for the chronograph, I have not seen that before. But I think I would miss not having a normal second hand.

    Just read this thread and still none the wiser - what's an A13a?

    I refuse to google.

    I remember when people used to post images

    Recently owned one after having it on my list for a while.
    It's a great watch, the perfect flieger / mission timer in many ways. Well put together and with a solid back story.
    My only gripe was the size, and that's a very personal thing of course. So off it went to a better home I'm sure.

    Some pics for good order:
