Another Timex finished.

Picked up this clunker from eBay for about £4 or so. The click spring needed replacing and typical of Timex it was a fiddly thing.

It didn't run well but after a session in the ultrasonic it was even ticking under water! 

Cleaned the crystal while listening to the cricket 🏏. 

It my first front loader.

I always imagine someone's surprise when they pick up an older Timex and think that the battery is dead.

Those pin lever movements are certainly unique.

So, you are the Timex Whisperer.

What did you do to make the dial so bright?  Was it all the crystal?

It's like the designers kept taking away a part and see if it still works. When it doesn't, they put that last part back and call it done.

Yeah the dial was in good shape (and I love the colour) so a good half hour with the Polywatch made all the difference.
