My beautiful new Speedmaster Day-Date! *PICS*

I love this watch guys! It took me a little bit of time to get use to the incredible wobble effect this piece produces, now all is good.

I've used the stopwatch feature a ton of times already (mostly playing around of course), and I really REALLY like how all the chronograph hands snap back perfectly to zero without exception, not even the smallest micro-error to one side or another. Also, when the chronograph is running, the little minute counter snaps to the next minute EXACTLY at the point when the second hand sweeps past 12 o'clock. Love it!

In 3 days it has gained just over 2 seconds.

So now I have 2 Omegas, and keep wanting more.

My day to day watch is still the incredible 2264.50 Seamaster Pro, which I just slipped on as I'm typing this. This watch has gained about 3/4 of one second in just under one month.

Anyone care to share their experience with your speedmaster day-date? Is it normal for the chronograph hands to run and and reset so perfectly? I was expecting a little bit of play to one side or another, but there is none. Maybe it will get a little sloppy in time?
