seafoam Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Ok, so the 7032 project progresses (slowly). My question is does this look like a 45 minute counter? From comparison shots it looks like it to me but I'm looking for confirmation. I'll be sending the watch and parts to Vac eventually as I'm a little nervous ill f this one up. Anyway, experts please chime in. upload pngpng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Yes, that looks like 45 teeth on the runner to me. EDIT: Redundant redundancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrboombasteke Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Yes, that looks like 45 teeth to me on the runner to me. Hopefully it's got the 45m chronograph runner as well. There's no easy way to tell looking at that pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seafoam Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Would a movement have a 45 minute seconds gear but not a 45m chronograph runner? That would seem by my amateur opinion to be apples and oranges. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your seller is advertising a working movement, and you see a 45 minute chronograph runner, then the recording runner must be geared for 45 minutes, too. If not, the chronograph function will not run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoam Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Seller stated the chrono works and works well. I haven't tested this yet as i haven't cased the movement or attached the hands. I'm going to let an expert (Vac) do this for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
