Timex.....how To

[SeikoWatch]

Hi all... Anyone has already worked on a mechanical timex?,, and has some advises, some tricks ?it seems that its a lot of troubles to reassemble the movement...replacing the balance is not a sinecure !....thanks in advance to all :)

I have a 1970 M25 movement I am working on (I lost the pallet fork while working on it).  I have the replacement part now but put it aside as my daughter brought me a friend's M108 automatic to repair.  Have you downloaded the service manuals?  They are so helpful and available online for free.

Cheers.

64americandeluxe.. First, thank you for your response. However, I have some pdf manual somewhere on my hard disc but I don't need of this manual but yes they are online :) for the simple reason that Timex movements are virtually all the same and they are easy to understand..

But these movements make me enrage because we see very well where the wheels are placed

I had already managed to repair a movement but by mistake I crushed the balance and the hair-spring :(.. and since the time , 1 year, I did not touch the movement :).

Cheers,

Denis
