>Rolex used to have a really nice looking chronograph
This one? Really love it. Oldschool chronos in general are fantastic, but nowadays, they're just larpy.
t. wears his mechanical oldschool chrono for work and actually uses it (but only because my g-shock is out of battery and I haven't yet gotten a new one)

>is that chronograph only capable of 30 minutes?
>why
Well, duh, obviously it can do as much turns on that dial until the power reserve runs out…
But seriously, I have been wondering about that one too. Why do all (2-subdial) chronos only have a 30min subdial and a small seconds one? Wouldn't just getting rid of the small seconds and having a 60 minutes and an XX hour subdial make much more sense?
Why wasn't this done?
Sure, probably more complicated and was maybe not possible, way back when, but even if so, why a 30 min subdial, instead of a 60? I'd imagine that 60 is more easy, since everything on the watch is based on 1 turn = 60. Why now introduce 1 turn = 30?

But it would seriously be funny to have to write
>This work was funded by Rolex
into the acknowledgements of some paper, or to have the rolex logo on some conference presentation.
I don't even need much. They could just give me some ratty old ass piece they've left somewhere in their basement and I'd be happy. Don't really dig the new maxicases.

One of the few Rolexes I'd like to have.

Fuck, wrong pic.
But it looks really similar to the OG Strela.
