This probably explains why I have seen some random stopping, mostly off the wrist. It also has not seen the loving touch of watch oil in all those years, either. The movement is very clean, and untouched since it was made almost 40 years ago. Took a look inside of my little Timex and I had a couple of things confirmed: Overall, a nice, easy to live with watch.Ĭase: 34mm, base metal, gold plated, water resistant, dust resistant.īack: Stainless Steel, snap on, Timex makers mark, water resistance and dust resistance marks. The crystal is a high domed acrylic, which scratches up pretty easily, but also cleans up nicely as well. The second hand sweeps at a relaxed 18,000 BPH, which is normal for a watch of this time. It hand winds and ‘self-winds’ with a satisfying rattle. The quality and workmanship is very good for a bargain watch. I think the lubricants were just a little gummy and needed a little human body warmth to get back to normal. It stopped a few times during the first day, but has settled in nicely, keeping very good time for a pin lever watch. After about an hour of work and a new band, it really cleaned up nice. When I got it, it had a funky Speidel Twist-o-Flex band and 4 decades of crud. The 3270 on the dial indicates it is caliber 32 from 1970. It has some nice, vintage charm, starting with the size, just 34mm diameter. This is my first vintage watch for myself.
