Is my Noob Daytona dead on arrival?

[chubbychaser911]

Just got this in the mail today. I took off the plastic and marveled at how nice it is. I unscrewed the crown to the first position and gave it a wind. Screwed it back in and no life. I pulled it out to position 2 and the time setting works. Am I missing something?

Also what’s up with the packaging? Isn’t it supposed to come in a noob case?

How many winds did you give it? You do know the seconds hand is the 6 o'clock subdial right? The seconds hand is in a different place from your wrapped pic to your wrist shot. Also there is no date so time setting in position 2 is correct.

I gave it probably 30 winds. And I don’t think the seconds hand moved. Sorry for the quality of the picture while it was wrapped. I could only upload in medium quality. But I think if you look closely the small end of the second hand is pointing at six o clock and what you’re seeing is the minute hand.

Have you run the chronos yet?

Second hand is on the lower subdial, what is not moving is the second hand for the chronograph.

Lmao dude you can clearly see that the second hand is in 2 different positions in the 2 pics!

You should know what you buy lol, that is a chronograph, the big arrowed hand doesn't move till you start the chronograph, the second hand is at 6'

Jesus guys I’m an idiot. Thanks. Lol. Wait so I have to run the chrono the whole time the watch runs?

Why would you do that? The "Real" seconds are at 6, chrono seconds are only when you use the chrono

Well, you could do that - it depends how lucky you’re feeling, now you’ve discovered your Daytona’s alive...

Even owners of gen chrono watches are aware of the somewhat flaky nature of mechanical chrono movements. So, use it very much at your own risk.

But it is nice to see all the hands working - that’s the wonder of the Noob super clone 4130! (Mine broke about 5 minutes after I got it...)

In this thread, a junior member learns what a chronograph is.

Reading this thread reminds me of when my 10 year old daughter tried to teach me long division

Lol. I cannot believe I didn’t know this. So the big second hand stays still on the dial and the little hand at 6 is the actual seconds hand. This is not only my first replica but my first chrono. It makes a lot of sense that the chrono second hand is on the big dial since it works with the tachymeter

this should also explain all the pics that you saw untill today that had the chrono hand always in the same position at 12 lol

I just bought a new Tesla, but I can’t figure out where to put the gasoline.
