[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3934866, member: 24867"] The new year is off to a good start. I got my first dual register chronograph fully rebuilt. It is now running in on the timegrapher, and I'll take a look at the numbers after about 18-24 hours. It got a new mainspring, I removed the steel bushing in the bridge for the upper barrel arbor port and set in a jewel in it's place. I also was able to sort out and repair the hour recording wheel quick reset. This thing was originally covered in oil and bits of rust. I'm happy to see how well it cleaned up. I still have a lot of work to do on the case, dial, etc. before the watch is finished, but the hard part is behind me now.
