Hi all

Ask if we can have a, wait for it, correctly working LED re-edition of the original Chronosplit.

I'm a mechanical watch person firstly, but would love a working vintage large case Chronosplit with those great red LED numerals. I've never bought one as I'm led to believe the old technology is unreliable, and once it goes "phut" then that's pretty much it. Too risky to put big $$'s into.

Surely modern technology can deliver on this idea and produce a bright, reliable, authentic red LED display digital watch as homage to the '70s pioneering Heuer technology.

So- lets have a re-edition, HEUER branded LED/LED Chronosplit (both window's LED) that's a replica of the first edition Chronosplit, with those cool 2001 A Space Odyssey bright red/orange numerals. Timing to 1/1000 of a sec, too. Groovy.

Off you go!
