Timex Model 85 CAL 87 7 Jewels - Balance Replacement

Recommended Posts

Today's bench time journey began with the exploration of a stash of non runners from what I have dubbed "The FS Collection". I found that the coil had come off the balance so I went to my parts bins.

Knowing this is a model 85 I was at first a bit unsure because the repalcment part I found looked different.  But, "FS" aka Fred Smythe was a quality control engineer at Timex so I just figured this was another one of his expermiental movments.  So cut to the chase, I swapped in the NOS part popped in a battery and off it went.  Still under bench test for now.
