They also have the 4-second key-closed, 1-second key-open markings to help manually send the signals that trigger the auto alarm in other vessels on 500 kHz. Some also had a moveable additional smaller hour hand that could be positioned to show GMT, while the main hour hand showed local time. > Lately I had a clock shop put a WWVB "atomic" movement in one. > Cheap it was not...

"Upgrading" the works would impact the collector value adversely, so that becomes part of the cost.
