Rolex Oyster Daytona

[Stu Bradbury]

I have aquired a Gold-Stainless steel Rolex Oyster Daytona Chronometer, can anyone tell me what the three seperate dials represent?

[TimJMS]

Left dial is seconds for the watch. Bottom is hours for the stopwatch, right one is minutes, 30 per revolution for the stopwatch.

Thanks Tim for your very quick reply, much appriciated.

Remember you need to unscrew the seals to be able to press the chronograph (stopwatch) buttons - at 2 and 4 o'clock on the case respectively. And it's not waterproof with the chrono pushers unscrewed i.e. you can't use the chronograph in water. Screw 'em back down!

Thanks for that peice of advise and taking the trouble to reply.

Some don't move at all they are glued on.

Oh I had one like that aswell, was told it was a safety feature to save the battery.
