mysterio 18 Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) I ordered one in HK. He said arroung 7-10 days for delivery. I hope it is true. Who's this "he"? looks fantastic, but who really ever uses the chronograph function on any watch, lets face it, they just look pretty Most of us don't but it's nice to know that on the rare occasion you need to, you can. ;) Edited July 1, 2017 by mysterio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was late to that party and I was only able to get it due to a friend deciding to sell his after he reviewed it. VSF has no more of the movement (which I heard was horrible in terms of yield, that's why they were only able to produce 80 or so units) so even if they wanted to make the watch, they couldn't do it.

I belive Rattrapante comes from Itaslian language and means: rapid fire. Edited February 3, 2019 by zelenicaj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It comes from french word rattrapant, past participle of the word rattraper, which means "catch again". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, GeNtle knows what he is talking about - 'recapture' or 'catch up' or 'catch again'. As for Italian, rapid fire (fuoco rapido) is a rarely used term compared to inversione rapida (rapid reverse) Actually the rugby today saw a great comeback from Italy against Scotland so I should shut up - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you sure you are not confusing with the French word "foudroyante" used for the 1/10sec chrono function found on certain chronograph watches ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
addibegi 0 Posted February 4, 2019 Rattrappante means that you can stop the chrono hands (usually with the @2 button) and if you press later the @4 button the hands will jump to the running time. It is uses to see laptime during a run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shyreplover 95 Posted February 6, 2019 So rattrappante is the same as split second chrono or doppelgraph? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dendo 93 Posted February 22, 2019 Ha ha - we are working on both the linguistic etymology and the chronological function at the same time, I think we need to press the #4 button Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone on RWI posted that he was able to get a PAM213 allegedly from a new batch of watches. If that's true, then good times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
