noob question ? seconds @

[davy_b]

hi guys sorry for this noob question , what does "Seconds at 6" mean or seconds at what ever number i see it said about certain reps ? like there is an IWC Chrono i like but they say it has problems with seconds at 6 ? what does this mean ?

Thanks :adoration:

It refers to the position of the running seconds subdial on the main dial. On a daytona or portuguese, the running seconds is at 6. When you have running seconds at 6 on a chronograph (a rep chrono at least) then the movements have historically been dodgy. I have a link to an in depth post about the seconds at 6 problem in my signature.
