This World on ebay has three 24 hour "subs" where the pic we have on the site shows one of the subs with a 12 hour dial. Does anyone know if there were two different versions/models. Just wondering if one of these watches might be incorrect.
Thanks guys.

Just looked at my old Chronologs and all the small dials in there are 24 hour.

There are only pics of black and blue faces so either the white face had 2x12 and 2x24 dials or the one on here is an LE.

That certainly sounds like a reasonable explanation. The only thing is, the hands on the 12 hour small dial are a different style than all the rest. Could it be possible one of the 24 hr quartz movements failed over time and it was replaced with the 12 hour? I'm asking because I'm clueless if that could actually physically be done. :) Oh and BTW thanks so much for taking the time to look into this Sharky.

I think you are right. Here is the correct white dial
