All New Hands for Timex Viscount 7670 3273, movement M32


Recommended Posts

I need all 3 hands, the hour and minute hands on mine have seen better days i could get them silver plated again i guess but i dont know where I'd take them to get that done and the seconds hand is mostly broke off with some new parts she'd be gorgeous again i was thinking I'd like the seconds hand from the 47670 3272 its the same movement so it should be fine, i want the bandit look like this

So you'll probably have to get a 1.5mm Hour Hand and reamer it out to the required 1.75mm.

Then you'll need a 1.2mm Minute Hand which are standard.

As my response to your other post you'll need a 0.21mm Seconds Hand but may get way with a 0.20mm which are more readily available.

I'd ideally like some original ones if possible if i had the model numbers for them i could restore it to how it was i seen a site earlier selling lots of old timex parts I just need to know which ones

You'll be luck to find a part number for the hands.

Edit

As a side note the seconds hand on the photo you posted isn't original.

I found the model number for that hand and it appears to be exactly like that one in the picture this watch is the model that came out in 1973, the one from 1972 had the triangle shaped seconds hand from what i can tell but they apparently both have the same movement so i figure if i can find that triangular hand I'd rather have it but if not i guess im sticking with the one i found, I'm wondering if either of these will fit they look the same but i need confirmation Screenshot_20240813-150123_SamsungInternet.thumb.jpg.5bd44aa09c7131e9bd91c919d7078ea3.jpg

so you want to turn the 1973 version into the 1972 AKA The Bandit by just changing the seconds hand.   Not quite kosher since the dial code will not match.

    • I once spent HOURS with this...  But for me, it wasn't about the crown position (which I had pulled out as instructed), but that I used a pointy probe to depress the "button". That allowed me to push it down to far and dislodge the keyless works. If one uses a screwdriver that fits the enitre with of the slot (I believe it was the 1.2mm one), you are safe.      Lucky you! 
    • The high beat error can be responsible for the balance not starting up by itself.  You should be able to adjust the beat error with the stud carrier here:   When you get the beat error below 1.0,or better to below 0.3, it should start up by itself. If not, you have a different problem.          This may indicate another problem. But first correct the beat error, wind fully (!), and check power reserve again.    Best of luck,  C
    • @carlosdv there is a pdf with the operating instructions further up the thread. It looks to me that you put the crown in the right position for the relevant subdial, hold down the reset or start/stop and adjust with the crown.   Tom
    • Hello Mediatech, yes the back can be opened with a case knife, it is not very hard to take off or put back on. I would also like to ask a question myself. In my case my Polaris is having issues adjusting the chronograph, the subdials do not seem to work. I place the crown in position 2 to try to adjust them and nothing happens, same thing in position 3 for both of them. Otherwise watch works fine, the main hand for the chronograph was adjusted and works well. I consulted an Omega dealer about a service and got quoted 650€, now my question is about the movement. I think the movement is based or is an ETA 251.262. It does not seem to be in production any more and was replaced by the ETA 251.264. Is there any chance a movement swap would be possible? What are your recommendations? Please keep in mind this watch would not be sold and I plan to keep it with me for a long time.
    • @nico, I've now posted the full walk-through for this calibre here:
