Tag Heuer Forumla 1 Chronotimer
I did a review on a Tag Heuer formula 1 Chronotimer I had briefly in my possession. It was actually a fairly careful watch and I liked how it looked on my wrist, but I thought if I did not keep the Breitling B-1, why would keep this an I would port for sports typical excuse, but I would either bring a Casio G-shock or one of my Lings. It is simply the way it is. I also had a spot of soft for Heuers tag, and they are really a move to automatic Switzerland look at the market. Enjoy the video

3573.50 was magnetized!
Guys,You aren't going to believe this (well maybe you are). My speedy was running +45sec/day fast. The chrono was advancing automatically to the 5 second indice when the pusher was depressed and it was hard to wind. Which lead me to believe my certified pre-owned Speedy from Tourneau (yes I know, should've bought from TRF, was a good deal) was in need of a service or overhaul.However, upon taking to the service dept at Tourneau, it was determined that my speedy was magnetized! They demagnetized it, it's now running +8-10sec/day with an amplitude of 317. And the chrono feature works again. I validated the timing against atomic time.No idea how it go magnetized, but wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience?

Daytona Rolex Upper Screw Down pusher problem.
Hello everyone,I have a 1997 Daytona and am having problems with the Upper Screw Down Pusher. I pushed it down to start the chronograph second hand but when I tried to stop it, it's not working. Does anyone know why this may be happening or have you had this problem? Thanks!
