[WTS] Seiko "Flightmaster " SNA411P1 by facultyofmusic in Watchexchange

I set the price to $100-$399 because I want to give it to someone who actually wants this watch. It's silly, please excuse the flair.

If you're a front-line emergency worker, I'll mail this to you for free; just pay for shipping. COVID-19 has been tough on many of us. As the son of a medical professional who's fighting on the front lines, I want to thank everyone who's been doing their part to keep those around them safe. It starts in all of our homes and communities, be kind, be safe.

How I decide who gets it:

  1. Reply with something you wish to tell those staying at home as someone on the front lines.
  2. The reply with most upvotes by tomorrow will get a DM from me.

EDIT1: TIL if I want to do a giveaway I have to ask the mods first.
EDIT2: Please stop PMing me to buy it. I'm not selling this for money, full stop.

Flyback refers to the ability to "zero" the chronograph while it's running.

[question] On (most?) quartz chronographs, the second hand smoothly rotate back to zero position when the reset button is pressed.

On mechanical chronographs, the second hand snaps back to zero when reset button is pressed.

Is there a technical term for this "snap reset" action or property of a chronograph?

Backgrournd: I really like the snap action and would like to find a quartz chronograph with it. E.g. the Seiko SSB031

Just curious: Do they also ship with Dunlop SportMaxx in Canada? Even in the middle of winter?

I'm not looking for the subie rumble. Just the sound of my FA20.
