The "I have a Chronograph but don't actually use the function" Club.

I can never fathom why countdown bezels aren't more popular.

An alarm is a more useful complication for these things I find.

Indeed, many of the things people say they use a chronograph for, like timing eggs or parking, would be better served with an alarm.

I use the chrono second hand as a central sweeping hand and the minute & hour registers as a second time zone..then it became too cumbersome to set every week or when the PE runs out..

[Chronopolitano]

Coupla chronos I won't be using to measure liftoffs and satellite synchronization, etc.
Otherwise perfectly fine, even with a fixed bezel, for timing mundane stuff.

PS: I don't always like well-read, cultured, chatty women either.
Sometimes simple but pretty, well-groomed, and well-mannered is more than enough.

GIGANDET Speed Timer.

I guess I wasn't aware you were collecting Ebel's! You and Rick Denney should get together and compare your collections! I'm off this week too and really enjoying a break and looking forward to a nice holiday. I get a 4 lb lobster on Christmas and piece of my all time favorite chocolate cake. It doesn't get any better than that!

Late response: We do talk frequently. The Ebel Disease is not particularly virulent, but once caught it is usually fatal.

I was off for the week and spent the following week with an emergency vacation--also with a visiting family member who found himself in the hospital with serious injuries, having gone down the stairs unintentionally. Thinking about either watches or work has been awfully difficult, though I have tried to amuse myself with both while sitting in hospital rooms. He's improving rapidly now and on the mend, but when he comes back to our house, the stairs will be off-limits.

Glad to hear he's improving quickly!
