Is it me or is there something funky about the numbering on the bottom right? 1-3-6-8-9? Liking the Bell & Ross homage feel here, definately digging it.

It is a little strange that it's only 10 minute interval as far as I can tell. Usually flyback chrono's have a dial that goes to 60 minutes and another dial that does the hours. Also interesting that it has the seconds hand and chrono hand on the main dial rather than one of them on a subdial.

Neat design though. Does have an aviator feel to it.
 
I like the looks of it. I also loved leather strap with the contrast sticking. I have a Wenger with that as well. I just burn though those every year or so.
 
I'd buy it if it didn't say "Timex" and "Quartz" on the dial.

Good looking design though.
 
Yeah I don't like the markings for the minutes or hours being non-linear. It's a battery powered quartz movement. Why couldn't they have made it linear so that it would be easier to read at a glance?
 
nice looking watch, but i agree the numbering seems strange. i never wear a watch and have no idea how to read those dials but it still looks odd
 
How are people having a problem with this? They just display numbers where sub-dials or whatever the hell they're called aren't in the way.

Nice watch too, but wish the display was sapphire.

It's not where the numbers are, it's what the numbers are. I still can't figure out how I am supposed to read the chronograph's 24 hour dial. The inside track is a linear dial from 0 to 4 hours, but then the outside must be a nonlinear dial for 4-24 hours. What's the point of a precision chronograph if I can't read off the hours and minutes?

No no no... not those. The little section at the bottom right of the watch that counts minutes. See the numbers there? It goes 1-3-6-8-9

right, but the numbering is not a concern so much as 'what the hell am i supposed to do with a 10 minute chrono?' does the hand flap back to one six times before the hours tick? 😕

1-3-5-7-9 would make more sense. but not actually make that watch seem more useful.
