Whilst digging about for some tools, I found my Timex Melody Alarm. I remembered why I put it away last time :-(

Put a new battery in it and you can see the lcd bleeding at the top left of the...

Thanks. There is a shaft for it to sit on.

All the movement pictures I can find have the runner spring in place which obscures it.

I’m coaxing an EB8420/8423 chrono back to life at the moment.

It’s now just missing one of the wheels which I’m not entirely sure of its name so I can source a replacement.

It’s shown in the...

That’s exactly what I was after thanks.

I’m going to hold the drill in my workbench vice to keep it steady.

Cheers

Going to have to come up with a solution like that. I’ve found what I need. It’s a polishing vice and it’s £150. Too much for this project.

I have a caseback with a couple of tool marks on it. I can polish them out but it has circular grained finish.

I know how it was created, by attaching the caseback to a lathe and drawing an...

Been meaning to ask, I didn’t get a PM. Will try sending you one.

Hi. Sorry. Been really busy with work.

I have a centre second hand from an EB8800 here. PM me your address and I’ll post it you no probs. It’s plain red. You can either use it or measure it.
...

I’ll likely have a spare hand for this. I’ve had a number of these over the years.

Will check.

I can’t see all the conversation but are you looking for a centre seconds hand for an EB8800?

I’ve got a few documents for these movements but not sure how much detail they go into.

Think you are right. From what I can find the 63** range of movements was released in '75 and this one has a typically late 70's style about it.

Just to close this off in case anyone ever needs to know this.

A very kind forum member donated a 6309 movement to me and I used the mainspring from it.

Here are the two together. Identically...

Thanks. Yes think you are correct. The movement has 63A stamped on it.

Thanks. I've been round Cousins webpage without much joy.

I can get a 6309 spring which visually looks to have the same barrel.

At worse, I could change the spring out of it into the barrel I...

I've been out of watch tinkering for a while but recently picked up a Seiko 6300- watch which I cleaned up and had running.

It's a hand winding version of the 6309 movement as I understand it....

Nice collection you have there.

Mine did clean up quite nicely and I did a partial strip down internally to oil the balance. I quite often just leave it ticking away.
...

That's really interesting thanks. Good to see yours still in use. They are a good size and easy to read.

Thanks. Maybe bit earlier than I thought. It's all cleaned up now. Will take a daylight picture tomorrow

Putting this here as it's not a watch or a clock.

Picked up this Smiths timer, have no need for it but I just liked it!

It's marked as manufactured by English Clock Systems on the back. It's...

Thanks.

I have pretty thin wrists but it's about 38mm ex crown.

Just a friction bezel. Turns both ways.

Just need the case. There will be one lying in a box somewhere

I think the water skiing would be a step too far for me!
