Sometimes it is frozen, such as in a modded 7750's seconds sub-dial or comes that way from the factory, such as the faux PR (power reserve) in an IWC Big Pilot (frozen at full charge). I don't have this particular model but when they say "faux.", it means that the dial is not connected to the movement. The suppliers' grasp of English is often mediocre, excepting Narikaa, BK and a couple more. So I am none the wiser.ĭoes this (usually0 mean that the sub-dials are a) disconnected and don't revolve? or b) that they don't operate the same way/to the same accuracy of a 'real' watch? The supplier says after I contacted him that 'Faux Chronograph' means it is 'not working chrono'. Now, not saying this is you, but so many new members just come in, demand info and fuck off again.stick around a while, you'll eventually see what we seeĪs for Webbo, I couldn't be arsed even bothering to formulate a response If I had a quid for every new member who claimed to have read for days and days and read all the new member threads, but clearly didn't and hadn't a fucking notion about anything I'd be buying gens and not reps. This is a great forum, pure laziness is not generally appreciated and the membership will let you know if you are being lazy. Thirdly, the new member thread has lots of stickies with huge amounts of useful information, including the glossary explaining Chronograph, and Movement terminology, so in fact if more members read them we'd have less stupid questions that are asked over and over and over again and get quite annoying.
#CHRONOGRAPH MEANING FREE#
Secondly, you're not in the Flame Free zone so really I could have said an awful lot worse. I know, who would have thought? It's completely stupid but that's how it works around here.įirstly I answered your question.
Best thing to do is to just figure stuff out yourself or you'll get shot down for asking questions on a forum. This is exactly how I felt when I first joined. (and thanks to Paparolf too, 'faux chrono' means 'fake chrono'. Just saying, don't just assume every new member misses things or doesn't bother to read stuff. Not griping, but not every new member knows exactly what they are looking for all the time (<- ooh, pun!) :-) and I am sure most of you nice people on here don't mind a little guiding in the right direction sometimes. I wanted to know if the phrase meant that there were static dials (fixed, unmoving, for cosmetic purposes only) or if they moved like a regular watch but not up to the standard of the real thing. Lastly, the post you refer to doesn't actually say what a faux chronograph is (or a chronograph even). I found it like I said above, by reading a lot on here. Secondly, I did search the sticky (and forums) for 'Faux Chrono(graph)' and nothing came up. So not as obvious as you might think if you are unfamiliar with the boards, and with the caveat that you won't know about movements yet, stated above). (However, later I noticed you can find it by clicking in the MUST READ.! box tucked away in the top right corner of the page, then searching. If you go to the front page, then scan the left hand side (as you do in most forums) then click on the 'New Members and Introductions' thread, (imho a pretty obvious progression, and it actually says the words 'New Members start here'), and either scroll down the list of pinned posts and look for actually look for 'movements' (or Ctrl-f and search) it is not there. You would look in the 'chronograph sticky (which there is none).īut let's say I do know. If you don't know what a chronograph is you wont know to look in the 'movement' sticky.
I think everyone misses it for the following reason:įirstly, you are also assuming that I (being new to the rep watch glossary) know what a chronograph and movement mean, or if they are connected at all. To find it I did searches of all posts for 'chronograph' (and had to scroll through and read a lot to find it). Hard to miss though seems everybody does, or just doesn't botherĪw, thanks! I did read the 'movement' thread but could not find the sticky as easily as you imply, (in fact, I have read most of the stickies for new members (been at it for 2 days now)). Read the movement sticky in the new member thread, in fact read all the stickies in the new member 's on the main page in red.
