Do you use your chrono seconds hand to tell the date?

Wait what?
Wait what?
I too am unsure how that even works or what 14 seconds has to do with anything🤯
I have no idea what's being asked here.
I'm SO confused
I have 14 eggs in my fridge today.
I thought I was the only one confused.
A: today is the 21st. Some run the chrono to 21 today, then 22 for tomorrow and so forth.
B: some don’t do this at all because they are afraid not resetting the chrono back to 12 will cause undue wear.
C: is a Speedy reference to the 14 second fuel burn for the Apollo 13.

This is what I thought the original poster was getting at but wasnt sure. I have honestly never heard of anyone doing that.
I, like many, have never heard of this. It's a neat trick. The non-passive aspect makes this a non-starter for me.* It's not that I forget the date from earlier in the day, it's that I haven't known the date all day.
*well, that and not having a functioning chronograph.

I think this is more common for the Speedmaster sub-group. Because it’s a manual wind watch, the date tracking has gained a bit of following.
Again, this usually happens more in Speedmaster forums.
