HI

I'm KeylessWorks

Repaired and restored several pocket watches and men's and women's wrist watches for fun.  Particularly enjoy disassembly and repair of Timex mechanical manual and automatic wrist watches.

Is there a separate Timex forum where I can post pictures and inquiries?

I have a 1960 M22 movement Timex watch in a one piece aluminum case without lugs!   DId TImex make pendants for this watch?  I have a late 1950's - early 1960's catalog which shows the dial on my movement but in a case WITH LUGS.   Was the LUGLESS watch made for a pendant?  My watch has a standard length stem.

Thanks

Welcome Keylessworks,

There's a fair number of Timex fans (myself included) lurking here and a huge wealth of knowledge. Have you any photos to post here? I'm sure someone would be along fairly quickly to answer your question once you do. Good luck, it's one huge rabbit hole!

not likely is that one lug broke off so the owner just cut the others off.

Thanks for the intro @Keylessworks welcome to the WRT forum! I'm also relatively new and I'm in the middle of my first service of an Elgin Grade 313 movement which has been stalled for a while as I was waiting for oil and a mainspring winder. Well, my oil arrived today and luckily I picked up an identical 2nd movement so as I disassemble that one it will help me remember how to re-assemble the first one! I've posted some shots of my watches here.

JerseyMO,

I am very late in responding to your feedback on the 1906 M22 moveoment in an aluminum case without lugs.

Here are two photos, one showing dial face and the other showing what looks like  a broken off "lug" for a chain.   I wonder if this fit into a desk holder or pendant.

Any thoughts?

    • in general this shouldn't be any change. but in general questions like this it be nice to know the specifics of the watch in other words how was it performing before it was cased up and what is it doing now.
    • just as a reminder this watch is a Swatch group product. This will bring up a problem like spare parts and technical information. that I found some links to some information on when I talk about your watch and some of the technical and basically your watch is equivalent to 2834-2 for which I'm attaching the technical sheets. But equivalent does not mean exactly the same you want to do a search on the group for C07 as we discussed this watch before including the technical differences how it's supposed to be regulated and basically because it's watch group there is no parts availability. https://calibercorner.com/eta-caliber-c07-xxx/   https://www.chrono24.com/magazine/eta-movements-from-the-2824-2-to-the-powermatic-80-p_80840/ https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/h-10-movement-details.4636991/ eta CT_2834-2_FDE_481857_15.pdf
    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
