What a build! Would love to see some photos from the retrograde mechanism.

Well done! The dial sure is unique. And +1 to what bmsm said.

It was the first locomotive to hit 100mph.



I’m not planning on being a flying horseman

Nice and interesting build!!!

Where is the dial from?
Do yoiu have a photo of the inner workings of the retrograde ahnd?

@straps68

I had some photos when I did the service 2-3 years ago but I can’t seem to find it. I’ll check my hosting account to see if I can track them down.

From what I remember it’s a 1- 2 mm plate sitting on top on the main plate. There is a cam and lever similar to this in how it works



@blueradish , next on the list will be one of these from my backlogged projects

1). 10 day Tank build
I need to figure out / fix the movement
2). 8 day 3646
3). Zerographer v2
4). Expedition bubbleback style watch
Daily beater with proper WR, anti magnetic etc.
5). Single pusher chronograph

I have a couple of homeless 8 day movements, so I’m always willing to try something else different.

Good, you're set for a bit now

Thanks for the link. So in your watch, the retrograde hand jumps once every 24 hrs and indicates the day of the week; from "0" to 6, right?

This watch only has 3 function,

Hours (the center)
Minutes - that’s the top and the retrograde part of the watch and jumps every hour
Seconds (at 6)

You just spotted the mistake in the dial. Between the design and the printing, all the “0”s (zeros) didn’t print. Lol. I kinda like the mistake.
