:D Mark...In fact, you need to broken down the movement because you have to clean the main spring:)... putting back it together is not a sinecure....

WRT Addict, the original Timex service manuals for both 104 and 108 movements state that you don't need to take the mainspring out to clean it. The spring is supposedly coated with a solvent-stable lubricant that can withstand most standard watch cleaning solutions. Then again, the watches being old you might want to replace the spring seeing as it might have set.

 

I've been working on a movement of the same model and I've gotten it into pretty decent shape now. The biggest problem this far is that the rotor is making noise. I've pinpointed it to being caused by the studded bearing being loose. I've considered tightening the stud but I'm afraid that it might lock the rotor in place.

64americandeluxe, how did you solve your rotor problem? Or did you use the rotor from the new movement?

      Phinney Walker Mickey Mouse Watch HELP

      By Mercurial · Posted

      I have no experience with this watch, but looking at the pictures from the ebay listing linked above, it looks like the outer metal bezel at the back of the watch may not be part of the case proper.  It looks like the watch and strap are sandwiched together, and an inner case may push out of the rear bezel towards the front of the watch.  A case style similar to the Roamer watches where the crystal, movement and caseback pushed out through the back of an outer bezel, only in reverse - this one may push out towards the front.  To test this, you would need to hold the watch, dial down, supporting the dial side of the watch around the edge of the bezel without touching the bezel itself. Then push down carefully on the inner metal ring you can see at the back of the watch. I’m speculating here, proceed at your own risk. Hopefully someone with hands on experience of these watches can chime in! Best Regards, Mark

      Thanks, Mark. That's the kind of reassurance many of us wanted to hear! Yes, life is unfortunately unpredictable, and it would be a shame if the many dedicated WRT: ers became stranded if, god forbid, something happened to you and WRT stopped working.

      The case back is perfectly aligned to the case and has no provisions for a screwing tool. The T-Sport series has snap on backs.

      For me the text looks too aligned and with no obvious way to grip as a screw back.

      There’s no indents & there’s no little groove to pry it off anywhere! So I don’t know if it’s screw down or pry off 👍
