[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 605167, member: 3775"] Yeah It's a keeper, It's built like a Battleship, It's very clever too, To save power when it is in the dark the second hand keeps going and then stops when it gets to the 12 O'clock position and then the other hands stay where they are and as soon as light hits the Dial all the hands rotate to the correct position because it memorizes where it supposed to be at that moment in time, Also as the second hand hits every 15 second marker from 15 to 30 to 45 to 60 The Minute hand moves a 1/4 of a minute at a time, And then there is the Complex Date system where it knows even if it is a leap year or a month with 28 days in it or 30 or 31 days which is really odd for watch with hands. They say it is accurate within 5 seconds a year but elsewhere It says it is accurate to within 1.5 seconds a month, but I think it is way more accurate than that, J [/QUOTE]
