Re: chronograph hands ??

In Response To: Re: chronograph hands ?? ()

: Actually, the watch is simpler than it looks.

: The normal hour minute hands tell the time.

: When the chronograph is running, the second
: hand counts the seconds and the several
: smaller dials count minutes and hours. When
: you stop the chrono, you can see the total
: elapsed time by adding the various subdials
: and second hand together. Pressing a button
: then returns all the hands (except the hour
: and minute) back to 0.

Now I'm somewhat concerned...I recently purchased a Omega Speedmaster Pro Chrono from Ashford.com. When I stop the chorno and reset it, all the hands return to 0 EXCEPT for the counter for the seconds on the left. The counter just keeps running for that. Is this normal on the Omega, or does it sound like I got a bad watch? I haven't had the chance to stop by a jewlery store to check on it on my own...
