It shouldn't make much (if any difference)...

: Hello to all Omega fans and owners. I just got
: myself a 2598.20 Seamaster Pro Chronograph
: (white dial, previously enjoyed...but in
: excellent near mint condition) for my 35th
: B-Day. What an awesome watch (my first
: Omega!!!) I love it and it will by all means
: be my everyday watch.
: My question is can I continually leave the
: Chrono function on without risking damage or
: accuracy to the movement? I like the look of
: the large sweeping second hand is why.
: Any input and experiences would be much
: appreciated.
: Thanks,
: Jason
