Remove 1960 Timex 100 Crown & Stem

[lakeradio6]

I have a Timex 100 watch with a 1960 date code on rear cover.

The second hand has come off. I do not know how to remove

Crown & Stem. Not sure how to add picture to this post.

This is my 7th grade watch in 1960, watch still runs and never

was in for repair.

Thanks

This may help if I have the right movement

Hi and good afternoon and welcome to the forum.     I see Melt has posted the relevant information ,      Did we miss your introduction ?  Its always nice to know who you are talking to.

The 100 would have a model 22 movement inside and not a 24.

and how about that - 

"This is my 7th grade watch in 1960, watch still runs and never

was in for repair."  a 60 year old Timex never repaired and still running!  So much for the claim that these were throw away watches.

Just tooting the Timex horn!

hello, yes movement is 22

with your help I removed crown and stem

now, It looks like second hand was a friction fit to

movement. I will try to re attack

Thanks

so you pulled the second hand off and you noticed a thin metal shaft attached to it rigth?

This is very common issue and by coincidence I just had the same issue with this 1959 Darwin I worked on.  I have them in stock so just replaces it and the gave the movement a good cleaning and fresh lube.  Running great now.

correction to model name - not Darwin -but rather this is a Bayonet.  The Bayonet would have a wrap around crystal where the Darwin does not. Also the Darwin is front loading.

hello, so I got stem out. The second hand has a small hole the same

dia. of second hand post on movement. It fits on post loose, and

just falls of. Then I noticed the hour hand is loose and I can move

it with very low force. As of yet I have not been able I reinstall stem.

Will work of some more. I see there is a flat section on stem,

does stem need I be turned A set way when insted ?

Thanks

place the second had on flat metal surface. than with a flat tipped tool such as a puch, peen the hole down.  this will help to reshape the hole.  

insert the stem back in and you should see the brass spring lift up some. than you have to push the set lever in on the right side where the spring is. this engages the lever into the notch of the stem and that brass spring should now lay flat. got it?  takes like 5 seconds to this. typing instructions takes longer.

I am sorry about all this. I see the drawing of set lever but cannot

tell where it is in movement. The dial is still on movement. Looking

at movement rear I see no screw for set lever. Not clear what is

keeping stem  from going in place.
