Did Someone say Avoid Seconds Hand at 6'?

[ABC123]

I think I read somewhere to avoid any rep with seconds hand at 6' position. Is this correct?

I'm considering this watch: The seconds hand is at 6' along with day hand.

You should be OK with this one. It's the A7750 movement with sec at 6 (or 12, and probably 3, and maybe even 9) that is the subject of much debate and frustration.
This one uses a 21J movement. It is an interesting complication, though. I'm not sure what they had to do to have the seconds and date run in the same subdial. It may or may not be problematic.

Yeah, very crazy piece.

What happens when the date hits 31? Does it auto. swing back to 1?

????? Your guess is as good as mine!

You will be fine with that one. I'll get you an answer on the date question in a little bit. I need to do some research.

The date should be a flyback.

Thanks Fakey! I think it has something to do with that button at 10'...

It should the same as the seconds do on this video.

That is a little tacky but I love it for some reason

Date is a fly back. On reaching 31 it "flies back" to 1. In a short month you use the pusher at 10 to reset the date to 1.
