Exactly zero, twice!!
During my rotation with the Speedy, I sometimes check on my Rolies. I noticed that the sub stopped at exactly zero seconds. I was like, hey, what are the chances of that? And what would be the chance that the GMT stopped on zero as well? Well, it did!! Here are some crappy iPhone pics to prove it. Now I'm not exactly sure if it's on the exact zero tick but at least within 1/8 tick. Now what are the chances of that, or does it always stop at zero and I'm an idiot for just noticing now?

1 in 480, I think, odds are I could be wrong!
Or maybe 2 in 960/2 X 24 X no. of winds + 3.1416, bet that's it! |

So I guess I could multiple that by another 480 for the other watch and get 1 in 230,400? Too bad there's no money in it!

I think that it's a miracle...Perhaps a sign..
You must not move or wind those watches...... ever......they must stay exactly like that or something could happen.........

I work at an AD. We had two Yachtmasters (Rolesium and Rolesor) side by side.
They stopped at exactly the same hour, minute and second together. |
