Driver I see that you have the 6.75 same watch and dial color as mine only on leather. My question to you is..In your pictures of your collection is that how the chronometer is suppose to be lined up to be considered straight or not at use for anything because I thought the arrow goes at the tope but Im sure im wrong?

Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean.

If you mean the little arrow at the end of the left hand chronograph subdial (the one with the 10, 20, 30 markings on it), then the position of mine in the pictures is where you'd want it before starting a timing. In other words that should be the position it goes back to when you reset the chronograph. Is that what you meant?

Ah ha right, that'll be the bezel then! :D I'd call the place I have mine set to "aligned", and as you know we all LOVE our aligned bezels on here! :wink:

Well, technically speaking on a Bentley it's called a Variable Tachymeter, as opposed to a slide rule on a Navi.

By the way a Chronometer is what a watch is if it is rated by the COSC.

Congrats on the new addition. I'm sure nothing else will get any wrist time for quite some time :wink:

btw, you aren't the only one that calls it a chronometer :P
