Hey guys-
I inherited a Kriger Tidal Chronometer. The watch is a bit small for me, but my dad wore is daily and loved it, so it has sentimental value. I pulled it apart (quartz-yuck) and ultrasonic cleaned the metal. Couple of the cotter pins for the extra links (which my dad, being the super hero is was, saved). I ordered the cotter pins, probably gonna need a battery too. I don't suppose there is any way to regulate a quartz, is there?
Anyway, it's apparently a fairly nice watch, but pretty rare, especially the tidal version. My dad was a sailor and I think that's why he loved it. When I opened it it, the movement holder had 2 broken pieces in it, and that was why I went to sent the time, it felt really loose. I designed and 3d printed a new holder, and it works great now. My question is this- does anyone know where to get Krieger tech manuals or movements? The lume is gone in the seconds hand, and I don't really mind it- but I'd like to price what it would cost to bring this thing up to like new status. The case is in pretty good shape, as is the band.
A Tech manual would be my preference, the movement in it would be my second and any other info would be awesome. Thanks pals!
