My red-tipped sweep hand is stopping about 2 seconds before the 12:00 reset position. I know there is a way to manually 'hack' it to reset it. Does anyone remember what to do? Thanks.

Which watch?

Emergency Mission. It happened once a couple of years ago. I know there is a way to unscrew the crown and click one of the buttons or something...may have to look for my owners manual.

Actually, I read the manual and found the answer in there (imagine that!!) Anyway, if you have one and encounter that problem...unscrew the stem to #2 position and hit the 'plunger' that activates the timer to advance the sweep chrono hand back to the 12:00 position.

That's usually the case with most chrono watches. Pull the crown out, then hit the start/stop pusher to advance the chrono second hand, and the reset pusher to advance the small totalizer.
