  1. Today
  2. I recently found a super easy way to check MEPCO electricity bills online. Instead of waiting in long lines or going through confusing portals, I use this tool: Just enter your reference number and you’ll get your latest bill instantly. Hope this helps someone! Let me know if anyone else is using similar tools.
  3. Yesterday
  4. Most will try and talk you out of it. It would cost a minimum of $150 from the most generous watchmaker in labor. Your best bet is to find a "Working" donor watch with the same movement and just R&R it yourself, or by a modder/friend, or ultimately a real watchmaker IF they would do it.
  5. I have only worked on 2-3 Timex watches, so I am not an authority, but they are simply made & I believe the M24 was a fairly common Timex movement that likely shares parts with other movements. I do not have a parts listing, so I cannot verify the correct mainspring for your movement or how available that & other commonly replaceable parts are. In most cases, as long as your movement is complete (ie, not missing any parts), any watchmaker should be able to overhaul it, which will either put it into functional condition or give you an idea of what part or parts need to be replaced to get it there. That way you have a specific goal, rather than just a general assumption that parts are difficult to source. I would begin by checking with a local watchmaker to see if they can assist you. Otherwise, post a request for help in Timezone's Watchmaking forum. You might contact this seller to see if they have the mainspring you need. Worst case, you can always get a generic mainspring to replace a worn 1. Either have a watchmaker handle the work, or, if you have some watchmaking skills, remove your spring from its barrel, measure the length, width & thickness of your spring & look for a match (with similar ends/fittings) on any of the watch parts houses like ofrei, cousins, esslinger, etc.
  6. +1 Pictures are hard to go by. Can you also send picks of endlink engravings and link screw heads? It is defintly post-1972. And a "G" Code places it 1982. It has requisite "stretch" it appears. Is the watch a 1982?
  7. The M24 movement, since my vintage Timex has that movement.
  8. It is difficult to draw conclusions from these pics, but it is definitely either of recent vintage or has been refinished by a non-Rolex refinisher. The fonts look off as well. Unless the seller is a known, long-time Rolex dealer with a long, established track record of authentic Rolex parts sales & willing to provide a written, money back guarantee, I would pass & spend some time reviewing known-gen 62510H clasps.
  9. i think best is zf.

  18. An ebay search for 'Timex watch parts' returns many pages of Timex parts. Same for 'Timex mainsprings'. Without including the specific Timex movement, it is impossible to answer your question with any accuracy. Is there a specific Timex movement you are interested in acquiring parts/service for? In general, unless you are looking for damaged/defective items, I think you are going to have trouble finding any mechanical watches, movements & their parts cheap. At this point, even many so-called 'cheap' quartz watches & movements range in prices above $100.
  19. The customer service is excellent. I've been dealing with them for years, and they always have been responsive, and professional. You get what you pay for. If you go with cheap models, expect it to be not as good as the higher priced options. Regardless, even the lesser priced watches they carry are great. My threshold for price is about $600. I had some issues with them, but they are replicas. If you want a perfect watch, buy a real one. In total, I've purchased 16 watches from them. Over the years, only 4 them of them have stopped working.
  20. What does the writer say about Trusty Time's customer service and watch quality?
  21. When I said lower end, I mean anything that’s less than $100–$200. I already have a vintage Timex Mercury I bought for just $10, but the issue is vintage Timex movements are notoriously difficult to be serviced and apparently you can’t even replace the parts, not even a mainspring (feel free to correct me but this is what I heard) and I’m not sure if a lighter fluid trick actually even works or if my vintage Timex can even be serviced at all and I’m not even sure how many watchmakers out there can service a vintage Timex, so I was hoping for another vintage watch that’s easily more repairable than a vintage Timex but considering I can’t afford a vintage Rolex or a Omega, I rather choose something far less expensive (maybe something like $5 to $100) and maybe something other than Timex and more Swiss made or at least has a Swiss movement, and has to be mechanical (manual wind and automatic are both fine).
  22. I have a vintage Timex Mercury Reference 1044 I bought last year for just $10 that needs some repair because it has an overwound mainspring but since vintage Timex movements are notoriously difficult to be repaired, I’m curious if there are watchmakers out there willing to service a late 60s Timex Mercury.
