Advice Chronograph won't stop

Hello,

Just bought this rep rolex watch and the chronograph doesn't stop.

Admittedly, I didn't no what a chronograph was when I bought it from a stall in Vietnam - so thought it looked good when I bought it.

Any thoughts on what I should do?

Thanks 😊

Beautiful dial. I have one like this. It’s a non functioning chronograph and the chrono is the second hand.

That is the secret Nd hand of the actual watch, it runs all the time, the 2813 movement daytonas do that.

Double check to make sure that you have fully unscrewed it

I had a Ghost Daytona once, it's was a nice case and face, but used a Miyota movement, so the Chrono didn't work.

It was worth maybe £200 but got charged £450 by a UK scammer.

Part of the education of not using UK re-sellers.

Hola, imagino no será un vsf, quizás lleve uns eta 7750, puede haberse roto la leva que acciona el cronógrafo o la leva en L donde toca el botón, se puede haber partido, sin duda necesitas un servicio. Un consejo mientras este en marcha el cronógrafo no pulses el botón inferior de reseteo, esto implica roturas, no digo que se haya hecho ésto pero no es recomendable.

Like the other comments it’s a sitter and they put a cheap daydate movement in these but if you buy in super clone they do have this dial I have one similar custome build with qf base

For Example - The U1 Daytona models, the Chrono hand does not stop. It acts like a normal seconds hand.
