Hello all,

A friend's father in law passed a few days ago. His daughter would like to get his watch working again. The back cover is missing. I have no clue what it is or what diameter cover I need to close it back up. These are the pictures she sent me. I will have the watch tomorrow possibly, but I doubt I will get any more info that what is the pic. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Best Regards,

Nick

looks like your standard timex m905 movement with no spacer ring, if that's the case then you're probably looking at ballpark 35.3mm case like you'll see on the smaller easy readers. Around here they are pretty common in thrift shops (and in ebay lots), not as popular as the 38mm/40mm timexes which do get picked up.

Rear snap caseback 33.2mm OD (outer flange), 31.7mm OD of the inner ring, at least on the one I have here. Movement also easily swappable from donor if that one doesn't work, 35mm-40mm (and up?) no date and date analog timexes use the m905.

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Chief · Posted

      So I found what I believe is the setting lever screw! Am I right in thinking the screw next to the click is the correct one for the setting lever? However if it is, it doesn't fit in the hole which I believe is for it! I can get the lever to sit nicely on the stem and line up with a hole, but the screw only goes as far as the shoulder and stops. It's as though the hole is too small! The dial side has been disassembled by the way, the other wheels are in my tray

      Gilding after silver soldering

      By AlanB · Posted

      When faced with say a pocket watch bridge which is cracked, silver soldering to repair is often the only option (hopefully someone wasn't there before hand with soft solder). I can generally do this succesfully and tidily with a small torch and miniscule pieces of silver solder, but on parts which were mercury amalgam gilded the heat can have have a deleterious effect on the finish.   I keep wondering if there's a good way to refinish these - and despite having the needful items would rather avoid using the mercury process.   In the past for electronic work I've gold plated PCBs but this involved gold potassium cyanide solution, which also doesn't realy belong at home. I've read that there are now safer alternatives but couldn't find more detail (and importantly how similar are the results to amalgam gilding, since I wouldn't want to refinish the whole watch). Pointers would be very welcome (and yes, I know solutions containing gold won't be cheap!) Alan

      By JonC · Posted

      Ok so with the great answers for my previous question may I ask what these two attachments are used for. The one with the red knob is I assume used for hand setting the seconds hand? Jon

      Roamer Searock Crystal problem

      By Zedster · Posted

      According to Cousins site I need to look at document G22 as I think I need an ATGB at 304 but I cant find this size in G22 doc. The last thing I want to do is order the wrong one😳  Unless I cant see the wood for the trees 😆 I could be looking at the wrong style, I assume its classed as Round plastic Armed  https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/wide-ring-gold-atgb
