[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3930510, member: 24867"] (If you came back due to the title change, reference post 27 to see the completed watch.) I'm working on my first dual register chronograph, a Seiko 6138-0010 'UFO' from May of 1970. It got it all taken down this evening and found the reason why the hour recorder would not reset. It had a broken arm in the reset linkage (as seen in the lower right side of the 2nd image). Someone has been in this watch before me and has absolutely drenched everything in oil. The process of scrubbing everything by hand is about to begin, and then a few trips through the cleaning machine will be in order.
