Here is nice before and after restore that came out quite well.  Repairs required, movement service, balance replacement, new crystal, new stem crown, replace missing sweep.

And of course just after I added the band and wore it a few minutes the sweep fell off.  :)  yes that is why you test!

Looking good. You seem to be well stocked on Timex spares.

Yes, I have acquired a great number of Timex parts over the years.  The most recent was the remaining inventory from a supply house that closed down.  Which I thought would give me the title of "holder of most NOS Timex parts on the east coast".

The same seller followed up by offering me a second large lot of NOS Timex parts but said I would need to bring a truck for pickup.

When I asked just how big of supply he had available he replied it is a storage room 16 x 16 feet and full top to bottom.

If I had taken him up I may have been the "holder of more parts than I could ever use". 

So I declined the offer :)
