·No but I'm sure if it runs without added investment it's worth putting on a strap to mix things up. Interesting look.

·I had one that I liked but it was problematic. The date wheel kept slipping out of position and I recall the stamped dial was irritating to remove to reposition the date wheel each time. Great looks though with the white on black. The red lollipop second seemed to float with the black hand over the black dial.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

·I don't believe those movements were meant to be serviced. If its not working well, leave it.

·It is running surprisingly well. Condition is like new. Snagged it for $20.

··Melbourne AustraliaJust keep it wound up and wear it.
I think you'll get more than $20 worth of fun from it, and with the clock spring powering that Kalashnikov of a movement it should go for ages.

·For $20 I'd say it's worth a shot. My wife went to a garage sale the other day. On the way out she said "If there are any watches, I'll let you know." I didn't even have to ask; how nice.
I guess that circular piece of metal on top of the movement would be called a barrel bridge? That's a strangely shaped bridge. Definitely purpose built.

I think it should be called an "Everything Bridge" 😁
And considering that Timex stopped making mechanical movements in the early 1980s, the fact that this un-jewelled, unserviced movement still runs after so many years is impressive.
PS: It's probably a Timex Model 25/105, but need better pics to make the call.
