Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and to the hobby in general. I've always had somewhat of a fascination with watches but it is only since I've found this forum that i'm feeling free to induldge that fascination. My budget is super limited so don't expect to see anything fancy on my wrist, for a while anway. My question is this, I have a new aeromatic 1912 navi-alarm chrono based of the citizen os80 movement. The minute chrono hand is not set to zero and I cant for the life of me figure out how to get it back. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My current goal is an orsa... like i said the budget is tight, i'm a college student working two jobs just to pay the bills, but we'll see what comes down the pipe... again, thanks for the help Craig

Quartz chronos have alot of reset variations. The most popular is to pull the crown out two clicks, and try to press the chrono stop/start and/or reset buttons and see if that gets it to move. If not, maybe try to pull the crown out one click and try again (this may move some other hand instead) If not, I recently discovered some extremely esoteric method to resetting some other chronos. I don't have the instructions with me. (srh_pres might) If not, I'll send them tonight. thanks- Marcroadblock2thesun wrote: Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and to the hobby in general.

Hey All, Thanks for the replies. I tried each method suggested and to no avail, while I was fumbling with the buttons, the watch slipped and fell to the floor, I picked it up to continue my trials and guess what? The chrono minute hand was no longer attached! Looks like it wasnt resetting because it wasnt attached properly. I've contacted the seller to see if we can reach some understanding. Anyone have any exerience with "Watches-For-Sale"? I'll let you all know how things go. Craig
