Vintage SMITHS Manual Wind Mechanical Stopwatch - SMITHS Stopwatch with Box & Papers - Nice Original Condition.
Chrome Cased SMITHS Sports Stopwatch 1/10 TH second with Sub Dial.
CONDITION
The watch is in very good used cosmetic condition.
The watch works fine, I’ve had it running for many hours with no issues. Both the main face and the sub dial ticks really nicely.
However, there are two minor faults. Firstly the fly back will not always return to top dead centre immediately, it can take two or three depressions of the winder to return the hands as they should.
Secondly, the winder stem (which holds the bow) is not parallel to the face of the watch, but it’s important to add that it’s NOT bent. It appears to need adjustment to allow it to line up as you’d expect it to look.
I don’t have the knowledge or the skills to resolve these issues so have decided to sell.
SUMMARY
All in all a really nice piece with period appeal and visually very attractive.
PLEASE NOTE that 100% accurate time keeping can-not be guaranteed due to age and use. These are period mechanical time keepers and will not be as accurate as modern day electronic devices.
