Hi Jeff,
Stewart is right on. The 2000 series chrono is a hybrid of sorts. Its a mechanical chrono movement piggybacked onto either a ETA quartz and ETA auto movement. So like Stewart said, you have to have the hand reset by a watchmaker or have the chrono part of the movement repaired/overhauled.
And yes you can reset the chrono hands as you describe on the full quartz (non hybrid) chronos.

: Jeff,
: Despite what you may have heard about 'resetting' the chrono hand
: with a magic combination of buttons/crown - this can't be done
: with this movement. (Maybe it can be done with modern quartz's,
: I don't know)
: Either the hand is slipping or the movement needs looking at. If
: the chrono hand tube is loose, you may need a new hand, which is
: problematic, as they are very hard to find. I had a similar
: problem, took ages o sort out a hand. Either way, you'll need to
: have a watchmaker look at it.
