Hi

Just bought a 1965 top time. Can anyone tell me where to get a manual. Second hand is not moving so I just want to know if there is a function to it or to send it back

Thanks

Running seconds or chrono seconds?

If the watch is running and the running seconds (sub dial) isn't moving then the hand is loose - needs a service.

If it's the chrono seconds (central) then activate the chrono with the top pusher, stop it with the top pusher again and reset it with the bottom pusher.

Thanks I was just being a bit to light with it. All is working now.

Can you direct me to where I can get a download or a paper copy of the manual ?

It would be good to have one with it. I have the original certificate number if that helps.

Thanks again

Sorry, I've never seen one.

Ok Last question. What are the outer ring of numbers for.

And yes I do realise I should have asked these questions first :- )

Thanks

Ask as many questions as you like, that's why we are here

It's a tachymetre scale. You measure how long it takes to travel a known distance and then you can calculate the speed by multiplying that distance by the number on the outer scale that corresponds with where you stopped the chrono seconds hand and that's the speed in units per hour.
