Any Flying Fish owners out there?
I was wondering how popular The "Flying Fish" is? If you own this watch, do you keep the chronograph function constantly running?

Because it looks cool and I use the large chronograph's second hand synchro'ed with my watch's second hand?

So, I assume you don't run your chrono all the time? Do you feel that running it all the time will hasten the needed service of the watch? I know that this subject has been debated on the Forums but I can't seem to find a definitive answer. My Flying Fish is about 3 months new and perhaps running it is a "new" thing and in time I may get tired of seeing all the dials move. LOL

Sometimes I keep my chrono running for the hour counter to serve as a GMT, second time zone.
To do this, simply start the chrono when the time hits 12pm or 12am in the city of your desired 2nd time zone. Works a treat. |

Ok, here my a rookie attempt at photographing my Flying Fish. I can't get the reflection out of the shot. I know, practice, practice and practice.
