full disclaimer: I jumped on the Hodinkee/Heuer skipper. Did my ceremonial unboxing last night... then it occurred to me, why is this counting up over 30... and checked my autavia skipper... it correctly counts down to the start gun. Checking online appears all others do as well? I still like the watch as will never own a skipperera. However, agree that for them to label it skipper would have expected a yacht timing function. So this leads me to believe... Dato 45 reissue in the near future?
