Record Watch

Got hold of this very nice Record Watch with call 6112 handwind movement, beating at 28000bpm

No plate loss 20 microns, gave the case and dial a clean and polished the crystal then fitted a nice ostrich grain leather strap.

Any info on the movement greatly appreciated.

These Watches are very underated in my opinion and may eventually go up in value.

that is a beautiful watch. i've looked at a few record watches, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

i noticed this on the ranfft site. i've never heard of this function. what is it's purpose?

Remarks
micrometer regulator
If the crown is pulled, the second hand continues running to the zero position and then stops.

Aloha Ramrod , It sounds like a variation of the hacking mechanism on my Glycine Airman where the crown is pulled and the second hand continues to the 12/24 or zero position . On the Glycine , a tiny wire comes out of the dial at the 12 position and physically stops the second hand until the crown is pushed back in . 

 

I believe the micro regulator is the fine adjustment screw that regulates the timing of the hairspring ....as can be seen in the last photo of the Ranfft link provided by clock boy.

 

The Hamilton Electric uses a micro regulator for fine adjustment on their Railroad Special .

    • yes I noticed the new site and I miss the old site. It's the unfortunate problem of the Internet here today gone tomorrow sometimes some of the stuff gets backed up and sometimes well it does not then the problem with the early Seiko's were there were not necessarily designed for distribution across the planet and as such there is no customer support for them. So trying to find early stuff like technical information or sometimes even parts list for older Seiko is is problematic. But I did find you a you tube video. A quick look he seems to take a heck of a lot of time to actually get to the service single I did not watch all that but it does look like he did disassemble or started to say there's a tiny bit here  
    • RichardHarris123: Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.  I have family all over Australia, went as £10 poms Thanks Richard. Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.
    • The whole process and the progress are closely observed, it's hand-driven and very controlled. I can't see the "danger", unless you are watching the TV while doing it. As you could have read, and in this quote "wheel" is the balance-wheel.
    • Have you got the pallet fork installed in the movement when you see the train move when using the setting works? As nevenbekriev said, without the pallet fork to lock the train, the behaviour you are describing is normal. If this is happening with the pallet fork installed, you have a problem in the gear train, it should be immobile when the pallet fork is locking the escape wheel.  The fit of the circlip above the pinions on that wheel is crooked in your pictures, it should sit flat up against the upper pinion as in Marc’s picture.  Hope that helps, Mark
    • Hi I got a Jaeger LeCoultre K911 movement, where one of the stems was broken. Part no. Should be 401.  Im based in Europe and tried Cousins but its discontinued. They except to get stem in stock for cal. K916 but will that work? Or Is there a way out to join the ends?
