Yay! It arrived today in the mail. Thanks SCOSGT! I love it. I need to get used to the seconds hand not moving, but other than that, it's amazing!

If you want the "seconds hand" to move, just activate the pusher. It doesn't use much more power than letting it sit idle.

True, it will use only a tiny bit more power reserve, but the chrono movement will wear and tear much sooner (http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=166618) if you let it run all the time. It is not designed to do that, so beware.

If its anything like mine, constantly running the chrono will use significantly more than a tiny amount. My 3570 goes from 52 hrs on a full wind to 32 hours with the chrono constantly running. Thats almost 40% of the total power reserve. Of course you can wind it again at any stage to get around this but as Xaltotun points out, you are adding extra wear and tear which is quite frankly unnecessary.
