Over the last few months I have collected quite a few spares for Timex watches mainly old movements, dials, basically boxes(small) of bits and bobs, I am trying to identify the following if you could help please.

Small movement first picture and crown stem second picture.

I have I think a M24 movement with the second hand sweep pin, I would like to build a watch from the spares I have but not sure what cannon pinion assembly to fit and hour wheel as I have so many!!.

Hi   Ianh   There are many timex models from the 60s I have a file some where with a lot of timex information, If I can find it I will be in touch, on hols for  a week now.  But as Yankeedog says mix and match as a lot of these parts were interchangable. By the way they were designed to be cleaned etc without dismantling, If they suffered major trauma they were exchanged like quartz units

first pic is a model 78

second pic is stem crown for non water proof case such as a Mercury with a model #22 movement

third pic is a model #24, there are two base cannon pinons. the one for the 24 and the other for the 25 ( has date feature)

4th pic is a "Sprite" 30mm case - 16mm lugs - uses non-luminous hands and could also NOT have a sweep.

the 24 will be shorter as will the hour wheel.  The problem with using the tech doc is that it just give you a part number but no dimensions.

so it really does not help other than to help id the parts name.  You would have to cross reference that part number via the main catalog to than get the inventory number.  

Once I get back home I give you more info on the actual measurements needed to id the correct parts.

 

do you have the hands?  they are smaller than does used on a Marlin or Mercury.  oh and the top right lug looks to be bent :)

      In the meantime whilst awaiting a better plan, please drop me a quick hello on my email.

      I looked at it like this, I've built a lot of stuff in my time, building structures and furniture,those are my creations and they will still be here way way after I'm gone. Traditional watchmakers felt the need to pass their knowledge on, ideas that they created . I assume with them as it is with me, leaving their mark on the earth, a way of being remembered. This creation of Mark's has brought thousands of people together to pass their knowledge around,  ideas that will continue to be used for lifetimes. Ideas that should continue to be procured. If for whatever reason the forum ceased to exist, not quite like Ranfft's, that didn't disappear but much less usable. Then that is sad, such a massive loss of communication between good people and a wealth of knowledge lost. There should be something in place for when that happens which could be next week, next year or in 10 years. Might not be a topical subject for a lot of folk or boardering on controversy, i did say i talk about stuff other people dont. But if you dont talk about it and something happens then you've lost it and you ain't gonna fix it .

      I've remained silent on this thread, and at the risk of upsetting everyone, the thing that worries me the most the the apparent absence of Mark. The moderators do a great job and the members also pitch in, and the site seems to run itself, but it is a concern for the future of this forum when the owner is absent for all intents and purposes. Like many of the comments above I would hate to log in one day and things be closed down as I rely on this site for ideas and knowledge and also cheer me up. maybe the Moderators could reach out to him, assuming he does not read this thread, and express our concerns and let us know the plans going forward? some kind of WRT ark

      That was the exact reason for me starting this thread watchie. Still we haven't worked out how the regulars are going to hook up if it goes tits up. I honestly think something should be arranged to stay in contact, we all help each other so much.
