Re: C.12 and 15 second hand question

I'm sorry Dan i'm not answering your question but instead asking you one. Do you have the seconds hand from the chronograph constantly running when you wear your watches ?
The reason i ask is because constant use of the chronograph can cause premiture wear in the drivetrain of the watch (or at very least reduce the length of time between services).
