I have been looking for a chronograph for a while. As I looked, I kept coming back to the watch in this post. I pulled the trigger, and the store sent it overnight at no extra charge. Very nice of them.

Very nice of them. That's awesome Dex. Congrats on the Navitimer. The panda dial and red chrono hand give great contrast / readability. Looking forward to seeing more pics.

Welcome to the Chronograph club! It's now my absolute favourite complication to have in a watch, so much fun to mess around with. Excellent choice, Dex! Enjoy in good health!

Welcome to the Chronograph club! It's now my absolute favourite complication to have in a watch, so much fun to mess around with. Excellent choice, Dex! Enjoy in good health! I have been looking for a watch with a chronograph function for a while. I actually use it. Now in process of learning how to use the slide rule. It should keep me busy.

Sweet! That's the best part and it'll be a lot of fun. I find myself using my Chronograph as well, more so than the GMT feature on my Explorer II. Either way I tend to like letting it run for a few hours at least once a week. This probably makes no difference mechanically but it makes me feel better about it, at least! The slide rule can come in handy sometimes too. Although technology takes care of that stuff now I also like having it on the wrist!

Thank you all.
Watch is doing well. I got a bit nervous on the day I received it, when it stopped keeping time about 7 hours after I wound it. Fortunately, I believe I was at fault. It has been working fine since then. Seems to be gaining about 2-3 seconds per day.
