Hi folks, I've recently picked up a PO chrono from 2006. Love the watch, and it runs great. Beautiful piece it is! I noticed the second hand is no longer orange on the tip, which I heard is quite common. Just wondering if this is worth replacing ? I am using this watch as daily so if the new hand is going to fade in a few years time then I probably won't bother. I wonder if they have fixed this issue. Many thanks !
Pretty sure this one was orange. To the OP I would wait until you get the watch serviced and have it replaced then.
Pretty sure there are 3 varieties of black bezeled 3313 POC's. White numbers and orange/ no orange Chrono second. And orange numbers. Google shows more then a few without an Orange Chrono second and not a single Orange Bezel 3313 with a non orange Chrono second. If it was a mfg flaw or fading you would expect to see faded orange or white on an Orange Bezel POC. Or an intermediate faded one somewhere.
I can definitely see there is an ever so slight orange on the second hand . I might leave it until the next service. Hopefully the new second hands will last a bit longer this time.
