Hello everyone from Chile.

 

 First of all I introduce myself. My name is Heraldo Jara and I came to this website looking for information and parts to repair a Timex watch that I inherited and that is unfortunately already discontinued.

I need to find the  Stem, crown and bracelet for Timex TX T3C274

 Please if any of you can help me to get the spare parts I will be very grateful.

 

 As I told you before, it is an inherited watch and I would like to repair it because it has sentimental value. I will be very grateful for your help in getting the spare parts. I send you a hug and thank you very much for your help.

There are some pictures.

Manu thanks again and sorry for my english it's not very good

Welcome to the forum. To replace the crown & stem a donor movement off eBay could be where you will find an exact replacement. Material houses such as Cousins sell crowns and straps of various sizes but not fancy. For the stem you need to know it’s calibur.

Hello and welcome to the forum,  As you are in South America Take a look at Jules Borel,  Esslingers and Timesavers  Material houses. They are all located within the USA, also have a look at the AWCI site in the states they are the equivalent of the British Horological Society in the UK n who will be able to point you in the right direction.

      Any tips to correct a sloppy error?

      By Geotex · Posted

      That's a good idea - shrinking down the nut and wrench size from the old casebook trick!

      I missed this earlier. The dial isn't going into the holder, it should sit proud of it. This is what I am currently using which I print for each different movement.

      I didn't think pulling to set position would work harden the spring, in that position it is stressed where the arm starts. By work hardening i meant rapid polishing at that point, a bit like polishing a pivot work hardens as it compresses the steel. I doubt polishing by hand would achieve much in that respect though. Its finished, arm polished up mostly at the join to the bridge's main body. I'm ok with it, the screw holes aren't great as i had to open them up by redrilling and positioning it was difficult, I'm not much use with a loupe, opening up with a file might be a better option for me or i could just use the correct drill size 😅. And the detent is way too deep, i had to guess that with the stem release out of position and sat on top, but i only took one measure and went for it, no slowly slowly catch your monkey 😅. First go I'm happy , well sort of, it works and thats a big thing for me, next one will have a bit more finesse.  Anyone thats interested, after filing, i used a 2000 grade home made diamond  micro file and then 20 micron film, the film is much better than wet and dry, more stable to use and doesn't shed cheap grade grit everywhere , then auto polish on a sponge pad.

      I'm assuming that every time you set the watch you are work hardening the detent spring, maximum hardening is  where it meets the plate due to maximum deflection.   That's why it snaps there.  The Young's modulus may be the same but after it's reached its maximum yeid strength it breaks.  My mechanic engineering is very rusty, correct me if I'm wrong.

      Ah ok yes that makes sense to polish it where the arm starts to form from the body of the bridge, i thought you meant the underneath of all the arm.
