This is a great service I'm so glad you are doing this.. Timex watches are great!
I collect nothing but Timex. I just bought the Timex reissue of the 34mm Marlin. It is the same watch my Grandfather used to wear. I'm 57 and I feel like a little kid how much I love this watch. I own a 12 watch collection and all Timex. I have a feeling the others will be in the watch box for a while because the Marlin is not coming off my wrist anytime soon. I also am in love with the reissue of the Q with Snoopy at the six o clock position. Love, love all my Timex watches.
Thank you for sharing
Timex sold so great becus the dials were magnificent, i have a special love for timex's but im a 1920s watch guy i love elgin and hamilton early 20s
I just love vintage all together. I love working on them. You and I are close to favorite era's though my favorite expands out just a bit further.
I am a huge fan of 1920's to around 1950, mid 50's.
There was just so much going on in the world, so many beautiful automobiles being made to look streamlined and still hold timeless. The watch fashion always hugged closely to the automobile industry. But in watches, there were just so many great things being developed. From Wyler watches being released using the 1 part steel case and their 2 part stem system. From Bulova creating beautiful cases , military issued watches being utilized for navigation , I mean it just goes on and on.
But in regards to Timex watches. You are so correct. There dials were absolutely stunning! Still today - STILL!! AFTER ALL THESE YRS. You can open up a Timex from the 50's and 60's and I believe you could easily get lost in time just adoring these beautiful dials, embracing the clear direction that Timex was intending to go and with so much foresight. Not compressing quality, looks or finishes in the least little bit.
I mean how many companies were producing mechanical watches , whether just utilizing a pin lever or it being a 17 jewel manual wind for under 35 dollars(more like under 20) with gold plated dials, gold brush finish, deep rich paint schemes that were so detailed. Many high level , mass quantity vintage brands could not release watches with dials as beautiful as Timex dials.
Still to this dial, many times during the week I am constantly impressed by their dials.
@@ElijahQuinVWR u sound like me! I love everything vintage i daily drive a 1967 impala i have a 63 ford galaxie 67 plymouth fury and 69 chevy c10 truck ive actually owned over 34 vehicles thats wat i do im a machinist i could make 5 paragraphs about how i made my 67 impala handle and drive like cars of today with suspension and drivetrain but i dont want to get off base of wat i was saying about "vintage" i loved how people dressed in the 50s i really wish people today still did, the way women had there hair and put more effort in the cloths they wore how men no matter wat they did for a liveing wore suits and hats it was just the way of life, it was something we as humans lost today we have the computer n internet and people think we are connected more today than we ever have been like how im comunicateing with you some1 i dont even know personally but we are so far from the real conection we had back then how familys sat down and ate dinner at a table the same time everyday and talked about how each ones day was and what they did,there was a real conection between people, people were friendly ,trusting and polite to neibors even strangers ,, it really was a time and lifestyle we have lost or traded away for tecnology it was a whole different way of life. If it was up to me i would live in the 1950s tbe atomic i have over 70 watches my favorites are the 1920s because they were hand crafted and some real time was put into them but i really like the dials of the atomic era ! I was born in the 1980s and like i always say to people that love the same things from the past...it truely is a shame we missed a real good time to be alive!
Dismantled about 20 Timex completely and put them together after cleaning, no problem. The base plates are held by screws and are certainly not riveted. There are videos how to do that.
Tricky as hell to get the plate back on. But I've done it too. I've also removed, cleaned and reassembled the mainspring. Not difficult at all.
Last watch I did was replacing the hairspring. That was a mission of note. But seriously rewarding whe. The watch runs. These are tricky and difficult, but worth doing.
@@dirkvanniekerk5741 I've only done one Timex and yes you are right all the way around... one tip a guy gave me on a watch forum is to use silicone movement holders and when the train wheels are in place and you get the top plate on, sandwich the movement between 2 silicone holders to flip it over... that was the hardest part for me to figure out the first time was how to get the screws back in without knocking the pivots out of position. I'm very new at this but I want to try another one.
@@dirkvanniekerk5741 oh and BTW if you did a hairspring on a balance wheel you are amazing... I don't want to even breathe on one let alone replace it
You should look for a service manual for Timex watches. They show up on eBay every so often.
I actually acquired one from the uk about 4 months ago.
@@ElijahQuinVWR What gets Timex watches running better is a new mainspring. Measure the old one so you can order a new mainspring. Don't expect to find a Timex replacement. Buy a new white aloy spring for it of the right size. Use Moebius mainspring grease to lube the spring and arbor.
Have you noticed they made that movement so you can still access the two pivots under the keyless works without removing any of it? The minute setting wheel has two holes in it to access one, and the other is accessible through a big hole in the rocking bar. I guess Timex were making it as easy as possible for the repairman?
Can you provide contact information? I have a Timex 21 that runs a couple of hours and stops. I’m interested in your flagship service.
Kind of funny considering these were all considered non serviceable, yet! They had service manuals and ar one time I bet Timex pieces were a huge portion of the watch repaires work week.
@@markcallinsky4121 very sorry. I am just seeing this. I'm not getting message notifications. I need to figure out why? I do check weekly I just did not see your message for some reason.
Feel free to shoot me a friend request on Facebook and we can exchange contact info thru messanger .

Just found this video, I have a 1973 Timex, I got it when I was a teenager. It still runs and I love it due to the memory of getting my first watch. The only issue I have is that even though I have adjusted the hair spring to the slowest setting it gains time. It must be running to fast. Is there anything I could do to get it to keep accurate or at least close to accurate time. I was told that it might be magnetized. Thanks for any info.
Hello,
Sorry for the delayed response. I am unable to advise what you should do. ,it could be a number of things. I could give 10 things to do , in order to check the movement out.
Since the piece is basically an Heirloom I would advise you to pay the coin. To have it professionally overhauled.
Good job Buddy
Subscriber #140 reporting for duty sir!
Great to have ya
Good work! These crude movements don't need the precise attention that a jeweled movement does. If you blow the pivots out with a compressed canned air straw after cleaning them assembled, you can get the pivots very clean before re-oiling. They will run forever with minor attention like this.
Thanks for the tip
I was just given my great grandpas old timex automatic. It moves but idk how accurate it is and the crown feels loose and rickety. But I would like to have it fixed to the best of its ability just cause its sentimental and would like it to actually keep time when I wear it
Can you message me on messanger please

Are you still doing this service?
I have a 1971 Marlin with an M25 movment. It is in very good cosmetic shape, but runs for a few hours and then stops. I suspect the movement needs cleaning and lubrication, but it doesn't need a new crystal.
Is this something you can look at?
Very sorry I am just seeing your message. I am not receiving message alerts for some reason. I check weekly but for some reason I did not see your message.
You may follow me or contact me on facebook facebook.com/elijah.reedy.3
I lasted until almost 2:00; because vertical phone cam no tripod no gimbal seasick.
Thanks for feed back.
I have a 1966 21 jewel automatic that runs for a few seconds and a 1967 marlin that runs but the crown is hard to turn when setting the time. I'd like to get them back to working order
You keep showing the Raketa? That's a Soviet watch not a Timex.
Sorry. Fly by the cuff video. Feel free to check out my videos on TH-cam to see the timex's along with some awesome vintage watch restorations.
Thanks
@@ElijahQuinVWR
What's your opinion on Soviet watches?
Are you still doing this and do you put it on a timegrapher and adjust the screw to get it close?
I have a few Timex 21 and Marlins I would love to send.
Hi Travis,
I am still in the watch business. I am not taking in any new projects at this time. All timepieces get put on a timegraph and yes, timing and adjustments are always included in any and all overhauls....even vintage Timex's.
Less talk more repair PLEASE! Where are you currently located ,Houston Texas ? I have a lot of non working watching watches I would like to be working again , especially over stretched metal flex bands and a bunch that I would like repaired bands transformed from leather straps to flex metal bands such as twist o flex or Milanese style in gold or silver or both colors , why does TH-cam discourage you putting mailing address in ? Do you also calerbrate (sp) watches , I have a bunch of Timex , Webster, Bulova,Hamilton, and others tha t take winding up as well as batteries , analog as well as digital
Hi, After 7 yrs doing watches. I took some time off. Well. 14 months. I just finished the new studio. I have also added on selling and using colored precious, semi precious gems. I am personally getting these direct from the mines in 5 regions internationally and 4 regions in the states. I am unclear why I never even saw or new of most of these messages from my subscribers and individuals who were curious.
I'm here. I'll make sure things get linked up correctly
I'll need to figure out a way to address everyone . I am very responsive in business. Missing all these opportunities to work with all of you , its unsettling. But that was then and I am in the NOW!
I am on this Facebook page all day every day. Please all of you interested in seeing more work. It all gets posted to this fb page. Whats on my youtube is not even 5 percent of what all I did over thz years.

Hi
Hi Elijah, sent you an email regarding the vintage timex service but have not received a reply. I suggest you check your junk/spam since there are probably many others like me.
Sorry. I never saw it. I apologize.
for gods sake man its past 2020 at least have the courtesy to film in landscape mode not vertical...
Timex is the reason ALL watches must say water resistant instead of water proof. The now sought after very 1st runs of Marlins. Have water proof on them. Idk the year or serial number they made the change. But keep a weather eye out for them as they are worth more even non working. I absolutly love them as well. I just sold a automatic. Yep they made an automatic version of this movement. In their standard non Marlin. I wonder if Casio had to buy the name from Timex as even a model they no longer make. The name was Timex brand model. Timex is now offering a mechanical watch but its price cuts it out for many. As Timex was always affordable and a option for the working man. I understand the watches are priced ok but. If im going to buy a winder today. The only non Swiss option IMHO is gonna be a Seiko 5. Timex will have to run the very same time gauntlet of reliability Seiko has run with their proven movements before I buy one at the price
I was putting some pieces up in my ebay store and while doing some research , I found that Caravelle released a watch model the was released to compete against st the Marlin. I did not know that. The Caravelle sport was the model. The sport is very similar to the 333 Caravelle. But the sport has the 11dp manual wind movement that was made in Japan. The 333 had an automatic movement
Hi, are you still offering this service? I have a 024 watch that keeps stopping , probably well overdue for a service
I have a 1962 automatic I just purchased because that was the year I was born it’s very clean and runs very well but, it has a stain where the hand set for years wondering if the dial can be cleaned and maybe do the best service that you can for what it is can you please respond thank you
Hello, I am not taking in projects at this time. Unless the dial can be cleaned with rodico, I would not recommend trying to clean it. I am 7 months out with work, so I decided to not take any more projects in for a bit.
The watch is very clean and runs good for now I was just hoping I can get it inside your cleaner, Timex suggest cleaning it with lighter fluid but I don’t know how to oil it , Can you please try to touch base with me when you open. joeylep@Gmail.com my name is Joey thank you
@@jojojeep1 my shop is open. What I meant by i am 7 months out with work is that there is a 7 month wait currently from the time your piece arrives to the time I am able to get to you. Due to such a long wait, I decided to not take any more projects in until I get the wait list down some.
@@jojojeep1 also. Yes, you can use lighter fluid to clean the mechanicals, but you need correct oils and grease to properly lubricate the proper points or the movement will only run for a short time. Especially the movements that do not have jewels and its metal on metal. Once lubrication is gone from the lighter fluid the movement will seize up.
@@ElijahQuinVWR I’m not gonna play around with it my brother on my house painter not a watchmaker I wouldn’t know where to put the oil I wouldn’t know what oil to use I wouldn’t even know how to pull the handles off not my job, please let me know when you have an opening I bought this knife because it was made the year I was born it’s a 62 with the crosshairs dial
Hi,
Are you still offering this? I would like to talk to you about servicing a Timex ufo that I have.
Blablabla,blablabla!!!
Interesting comment Pierre.
