SERVICING A TIMEX
MODELS 22, 29, 23
Already many million Timex watches are in service through
out the world and each year this quantity is rapidly increasing.
With so many in circulation, a large proportion of repairs taken
into jewelers will consist of Timex watches. An effective and
efficient repair service is essential, based on techniques formu
lated after many years of factory servicing.
Even with the most rugged of .watches, as with all mechan
ical devices, sometime it will require a servicing operation to
cover for mishandling, damage, oiling or wear, etc.
To present the Timex servicing procedure in as few words
as possible for persons who are already skilled in watch repair,
we have prepared a series of illustrative drawings showing those
areas in which you may need guidance.
Cases
The Timex waterproof, self wind and non-waterproof range
of watches all feature conventional designs of watch case with
which all jewelers are familiar.
As these styles change each year to meet changing tastes of
customers, detailed methods of uncasing are not shown. Although
styling changes, the basic method for casing and uncasing watches
remains the same.
It is important to note that every Timex, when completed
at the plant, is subjected to electronic timing tests and is run
tested in several positions, including horizontal and vertical posi
tions, to establish accurate timekeeping. In addition, all water
proof cases are individually tested to 35 pounds per square inch,
which is equivalent to immersion in water to a depth of 82 feet.
