This! My brother in-law was lucky enough to get one and they had to put a whole package together (letter, pictures, etc) and run it up the chain at Rolex for them to make the decision and amazingly he got it!

It is an unusual chrono function for three likely reasons:

1) Unusual to need more than twelve hours since once a 12 hour chrono spins through its initial 12 hours, it is easy to simply add 12 to its time and arrive at the correct total (you would rarely be unable to determine 12 hrs has elapsed).

2) Most people rarely need to time 12+ hrs in a single go (and see above)

3) Power requirements

The combination of the above plus the fact it doesn’t add anything visually (unlike a moon phase or host of other complications with limited use)…

He is big into racing and goes to the Daytona race often so it was pictures from there as well as his family has some great classic cars including an original 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 and they sent some pics of his kids when they were little in the car...

I remember your thread from two years ago. It was the first Le Mans incoming on here and was eventually deleted because all the attention.
