    Hi all, my Monaco has been idle for a few weeks while I've been waiting to for a new strap.

    When I wound it again, the large timer/second hand doesn't sit at 12 any more, it is one to two seconds past that... Is there a way to get it to sit at 12?

    You talking about the chrono hand on the 3 Oclock dial....you have reset it with the lower button, and ensured the watch is well wound, often things dont reset right at low sping energies.

    It's the large hand on the main face... It's function is Chrono. The smaller dial on the right handles seconds. The large one sits at 12 and idle mostly...

    Have you fully wound it and tried a reset after allowing the chrono to run for a few minutes prior.

    Yeh, I've tried that. Didn't have any effect. I'll keep trying

    Try stopping the chrono dead on the 12 oclock when its running and then reset....I had a chrono do this before and took a bit of playing around to get the reset right.
