Timex Manual Wind Question


Recommended Posts

I have taken in a lady's Timex manual wind with sweep hand and date (Movement number that I can find "23B or "238"). Does anyone know of a possible source for a replacement movement or someone that could service this one for me. I dont see any rust and the balance moves freely.

 

Thanks

Timex mechanical watches were not really designed to be serviced,  the service usually costing more than the watch cost.  They are not made the same as a Swiss watch and cannot easily be dismantled, being of low value there is little point in spending a lot of time trying to get one running properly, unless it is of mentisental value.  I believe the correct way to clean one is to remove the hands and dial and put the whole movement in cleaning fluid,  dry it off when clean and then re-oil the moving bits and pieces.  :thumbsu:
