Part of my father's expanding collection, this pocket watch is known to be UK issued and military due to its broad arrow stamp.  However, we cannot trace the serial number and know it should relate to a military division.

Can anyone she'd any light?

It's not the MOD serial and part number for the watch is it?

My eye magnifier has the arrow symbol and 6C/152 under it which is the serial and part number which would of been used to order it from supplies

you can look up the Elgin serial number at the link below. Then if you go searching online you can find other examples of Elgin watches with TK on the back. The numbers appear to actually be a serial number then TK may actually be T. K. if you look up British military designations TK  comes up as tank. But searching for tank watches comes up with basically nothing.

      You don't have to use his special tester. Any good multimeter would work.

      Pocket watch escape wh

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      Yes, it looks like GT Revue 30. Doctor, You can not replace escape wheel by the dimensions You listed. One needs to know much more things like number of leaves of the pinion and it's diameter, the position in high of the table and the pinion, the hight between the pivots, the exact pivots diameter... And then, even if suitable wheel is found, one will need to know how to adjust the pallets position correctly. Restoring antique movements is something different than replacing parts. In older movements parts are not interchangeable, this means spare parts do not exist. Here the case is different, but still escapement adjustment will be needed if a wheel from a donor is found. So may be it will be easier to restore the donor for You...Restoring antique movements usually means making of the parts needed and this requires knowlage and working on lathes skill. In this case repivoting of the wheel is the natural solution, but there is a long way that one must walk untill getting ready for such work.

      How to store one dip

      I was looking at Essence of Renata, a chemical used a lot for cleaning hairsprings: "Specially prepared solution for degreasing watch and instrument components. Indispensable for degreasing hairsprings." Looking at the MSDS you can see this is just pure n-Heptane, so could be an option for those who don't want to use the chlorocarbons or hexane?     HF6013 - Horological Essence COSHH Safety Data Sheet Horological Essence_0.pdf
