Vintage t-graph project......help needed

[BMcGraw]

I've managed to get my hands on another version of the watch I've ALWAYS regretted selling....a vintage t-graph. But it needs some love....so it's off to Jack at IWW for service and a sympathetic restoration. While it sits in the queue I'm on the hunt for a few items. First, a proper sweep stopwatch hand. It think it should be a little arrow. Also, a mineral crystal. At some point a cheap acrylic was installed on this one. Lastly, would love to find a proper beads of rice bracelet. Thanks for any insights/thoughts/criticism in advance.

Wow, great find! The crystal should not be a problem, Jack should be able to make a new grind a new one for you. The bracelets can be found with a little luck, the chrono hand is another story, you may have to have one made for you.

damn Ben, when you said a project, you weren't kidding. Some of those parts are tough to find.
Good luck!

Nice find!

Do you know any history. How did it come to you?

[BMcGraw]

Hi Jobart,

I don't have any history on the watch. I'm suspecting it belonged to an astronaut......or maybe a famous explorer......or medal of honor recipient. Now it belongs to a US Marine. :)
