Steinhart Deckwatch

Steinhart Deckwatch with a replacement rubber strap that matches the blued hands. Hand wind that lacks hacking. The inability to stop the seconds hand when setting the watch is a minor inconvenience since it makes synchronizing the time with an atomic clock reference nearly impossible. No real issue though since I don't have to determine my exact longitude by comparing the time display to GMT. Still reminds me of the genius of John Harrison.  If you're not familiar with the Englishman, google his name.

It may be possible to hack anyway if you simply pull the crown out to the setting position and hold the pressure in reverse like you are moving the hands backwards until the seconds hand stops.  This may take a little practice but it is totally possible to hack many non-hacking watches in this way.

I know that trick, John. But despite numerous efforts I haven't been able to make it work on this watch. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
