      Actually kind of rough, maybe munute wheel pinion problems? Is the 2.73mm canion oinion which seems rarer and not availble on Cousins UK. The seconds hand works and suprising nice amplitude but don't know the lift angle and BE this one says 17 j but is a pin pallet as well. Cap jewels on the escape and drive train pivots. Interestingly in has both water proof and shock resistant on the caseback and dial. Puts this around 1969 or '70? The double bezel that works independently is cool has the pi symbol on each. Wonder if it can be used like a slide rule ir something...

      Thank you, but sadly this did not help.   Thank you! There is a handy flowchart.   But I don't don't know what the "time rate measuring instrument" is, nor how I confirm my output signal. I'll have to dig further when it's not midnight.

      Those are found in lots of cheap brand divers Razz. How does the time setting feel on it ?

      Let me check around as well, I have this EB 8800 that I can't get the Canon pinion to work right. The timegrapher has the watch running well just the hands don't move..
