Killasam 0 Posted May 18, 2010 can anyone tell me how you set the sub dials on a rolex sec@6 Daytona Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AustinTech 0 Posted May 18, 2010 The subdials aren't "set." They are used to measure time. So when they are not in use, they should all be pointing straight up. BTW - don't use them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KBH 7 Posted May 18, 2010 Assuming you have the 7750 chrono and not the 21j cheapie, the top button is to start and stop the chrono. The bottom button is to reset it. The pushers have to be unscrewed to use them though. As DB said, it's better to not play with them too much if you have a seconds at 6 model. They're not very reliable because of the extra gears used to move the second hand from 9 o'clock to 6 o'clock position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverspeed 10 Posted May 18, 2010 Keep the use of the chronos to the absolute minimum, although the problems with the sec@6 movement have nothing to do with the chrono functions. Many times if you use the chronos a lot they won't reset properly. the top pusher is the start/stop pusher...unscrew the pusher and push to start the chrono hand, let it run for at least 40 seconds before stopping it with the top pusher. The bottom pusher will reset the the chrono dials in the top position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sconehead 5 Posted May 18, 2010 ...and always STOP the chrono's first before hitting the reset button. Also, I don't know if you're aware, if you need to change the date, change the time to the 6 o'clock position first, then change the date. The reason for this is that between 10pm and 2am the gears are engaged for the day/date change. If you manually change it between this time the gears will fuck up, it's the same with the ETA 7750 movement too, not just the Asian. Get into the 6 o'clock habit for all your watches and you'll never have a problem... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
