Just received my IWC Pilot from Ryan.

I read the advice on here and set it carefully, date adjustment at 6 o'clock. Never used the chrono.

I noticed the chrono hour hand located at 6 never stops even though chrono is not running

First thing I wanna say is that I can blame myself for this because it was obvious on the QC pics, see here

Now I also want to say that the TD should spot that right away and not even accept watches with such flaws from factories.

I have written to Ryan and he might suggest that I send it back but it would be expensive and risky

If this doesn't damage the movement I am ok to keep it that way.

What do you guys think?

The sec at 9 is the seconds hand, the chrono seconds hand is the longest hand at 12


Aka this is normal.

What about the subdial hand at 6? Why would it be there when chrono is reset?
