Hi,

Has anyone had any experience of the replica smiths chronometric instruments that are frequency advertised on ebay from India ?

I wondered in the mechanism is actually Chronometric (as it says on the dial face), and therefore of use to create items like PA rev counters or mileometers ?

Or are the mechanics a pile of rubbish !?


(I did a search on "smiths speedometers", and looked for ones available from india. Item 280645389624 is one that's currently on there)

Regards
Paul.

Paul,

These Indian made instruments are not chronometric but magnetic type.
I have read this on another ebay advert.
Look at item # 320774915915 it says " Although, the speedo is supposed to be a replacement for the chronometric speedo, it does not have the chronometric internals. Instead it comes with the magnetic internals ".
