Since we have many Daytona owners. I guess this survey can extend to any Daytona style watch. Are you a free spirit, and can leave your timer anywhere? Or do you feel obligated to reset it to zero every time you use it?

I'm going to guess at least 95% of you need to reset the timer to zero.

I don't have the Daytona, I have the Tudor Chronograph. I keep it set to zero when I'm not timing something.

Option 3.
When I wear my Daytona, I match/start the chronometer on the small seconds dial and run it as a large second hand - always have done this. A Rolex is meant to run free.

ever since the RSC said the chrono was not meant to run at all times I just leave it stopped. If I should time something of course I will reset it, But I leave it at 15 sec so the Rolex superlative chronometer etc is showing

I reset mine afyer I am done using the chrono function. I actually reset it to 30 secs so I get full view of the writing up top.

To be honest, on the Rolex Daytonas I have had (16520ies), I rarely used the chronograph. I only started it once a month and let it run for an hour or so to keep the oiling of the mechanism fluent, but I always reset the chrono hand to zero afterwards.

Similarly, I also always keep the triangle with the luminous dot set exactly over the triangle 12 o' clock marker on the dial on my SD.

i actually have my chrono running all the time, I started it and sync'ed the large second chrono hand w/ the smaller second hand.

one person asked me if my watch was broken when i had it reset to zero.

When my chrono was an every day wearer, and they were more rare than today, I seriously got tired of people telling me my watch had stopped.

The first few times I was shocked and looked...

..

.but after a while I just got in the habit of saying "It has a stop watch function, thank you"

My Daytona has a stop watch function?!

I reset it after using the chrono function. My favorite time of Day is 12 AM or PM when everything is vertically aligned
