Sec @9 or sec@12 means the positioning of running second on the dial. (9oclock or 12oclock) The positioning varies with the movement that is being used to power the watch.
Sorry the positioning of the running second on the dial i dont follow? NOOB here
Look for a subdial (small hand with its own post) positioned above the 6 marker or next to the 9 marker, or under the 12 marker. If the small hand in the subdial at 6 or 9 runs continuously (hence, "running seconds"), then the large hand mounted to the center post will only run when the chronograph function is started.
