    What's up with the minutes counter on the bottom right? Scale seems to be off. It's going 0-1-2-3-?-6-7-8-?-9-10

    my bad thats a chronograh watch not an altimeter one

    top rifgt dial is hours and the bottom one is minutes , so if top one is on 2 and botom one is on 5 it means 2 hours 5 minitues has passed. the minute dial resets after 10 minutes and the hour dial moves a notch and it carries on. its easier using both types of watches than reading about em

    If that works, I just picked up these for making powderhorns. Also, we just bought a 2000 Dodge Durango, white with the 5.3L V8. It was actually cheaper than repairing the transmission in our Grand Prix, and as an added bonus it hauls stuff a LOT better.

    My friend from college who I was studying with was using it and he learned to program through treehouse. The whole program is really fun any easy to follow. I bought the silver edition and it is brilliant.

    If you want a referral, PM me. It can benefit both of us :D

    I know how to use a chrono, thank you. That doesn't change the fact that the minute scale is incorrect.

    I can understand the mis-numbering getting as far as the drawing board if the layout guy was pissed/high that day, but quite how they got this error into production AND released the dodgy batch into the sales channel is just baffling.

    Collectible though.

    At the risk of sounding like a knob, if it was a mis-numbered or otherwise screwed up Rolex, Patek or something of that ilk, it would be collectible (see: Red Submariner) but a Timex? Doubtful.
