Questions on the XXI 3815 and 3817 for those that actually have them.
Jun 30, 2021,15:41 PM
Years ago I had a XX Transatlantique and now looking to buy another type XX/ XXI.
I haven't found a good answer about the sub dial at 3 o'clock. Some of the reviews say it is a hour counter for the chrono and others say it is to tell day/night time. I have used the sun for that.
On the 3815 I can see it being used to track the hours for the chrono because there isn't a sub dial at 6 o'clock like the 3817.
What am I missing?

Thanks Heiko and Steve So it looks like the 3810 and 3817 both have the 12 hour register at the 6 o'clock position and the 3815 can only count up to 60 minutes as a chrono. I guess you could count the hours on the 3815 using the bezel. Steve
