I’m a big Timex mechanical fan and 2 years ago I decided to explore the Dynabeat chapter in Timex’s history by impulsively buying this very watch. Bought on eBay as is, just as I am selling it now. As is. Upon arrival, it needed a battery replacement which I performed myself after a decent effort in finding the modern equivalent of the battery it required. After replacing it, the watch worked but it was ridiculously fast and I quickly lost interest in it and failed to get it serviced. My loss is your gain. The watch is in decent shape with average signs of wear for its age. I know very little about this movement but the case is made in France and shows a quality of craftsmanship from days gone by.
