| Post subject: | WINDRIDER CHRONO SEXTANT INFO |
HI GUYS. I SALUTE YOU FROM CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO. THE MOST VIOLENT PLACE AROUND THE WORLD AT THIS TIME, SADLY. THE THING IS THAT I RECENTLY LAYED MY HANDS ON THIS BEAUTIFUL WINDRIDER CHRONO SEXTANT, BUT I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. WHEN I START THE CHRONO, EVERYTHING GOES JUST FINE, BUT WHEN I TRY TO USE THE "LAP" FUNCTION, THE LOWER BUTTON JUST WONT STOP THE SECOND HAND, BUT WHEN I STOP THE CHRONO IT RESETS IT PROPERLY. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK OR IF IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. ALSO WHEN I RESET IT, THE HAND "CLICKS" RAPIDLY TO THE 12 LOCATION DIFFERENTLY THAN MY COLT CHRONO OCEAN WICH SECOND HAND MOVES SLOWLY AND SMOOTHLY TO THE 12 POSITION. I WILL APPRECIATE ANY INFO YOU CAN GIVE. REGARDS... KARLEWIS |

It's working correctly. The movement doesn't have a lap function (flyback or rattrapante) so reset only works when the chrono is stopped. The chrono reset is different because it is a mechanical watch vs. your quartz CCO. |

Sextant is Cal55, which is meca quartz (quartz with mechanical chrono). As Roff said, it hasn't got flyback function and the chrono resets like it should. |

You are welcome. Ref# is correct. Best way to find a market value is to check completed auctions on ebay, or see asking prices on http://www.chrono24.com which are slightly higher than they should be. |
