Dear All, My Milspec finally arrived! The watch looks good on wrist. When I adjusted the time, found the second hand is non-hacking. That surprised me, as I thought FF’s caliber has hacking second. Took out my FF Barakuda immediately and found to be non-h...

but that appears to be true. It’s not a problem with your particular timepiece. I’m not a fan of non-hacking movements

Thanks. I am neutral on that. Though would expect a hacking caliber on a military theme time piece. Good to know that mine is not faulty.

Thanks, Henrik. That's reassuring. Worried that I got a lemon again, as you may recall my last scratched limited edition Bathyscaphe 38mm right from the box.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Thanks for the reassuring confirmation, Alex.

You can get it to "hack"...

If you turn the crown just slightly counter clockwise in the setting position, the second hand should stop in place while pressure is applied.

Like the Speedy Pro?

Thanks, Paul. That's the same feature as my other non-hacking calibers.

Non hacking barakuda here as well
