Is there a way to do a factory reset on these? I messed up during the set up phase of entering the phone number on the watch. Now below the QR code it is showing the incorrect number and not receiving the 8 digit code. I can for the life of me figure out how to do a full reset or even change the number i entered wrong.

For real, the same thing happened to us just today. There is a way to do a factory reset, but the watch needs to be functional to do it, so that is not an option. I've been trying to chat with customer service but no one is answering. I'm really hoping someone can help with this!

Go with what you measured: 31.1 seems to be a perfect fit for 30.3-ish bezel opening. When you have doubts - get slightly larger one as you can easily file the edges. But you nailed your measurements!

The Timex dial code is the key value - 26753 02574 . You must either have the small booklets provided to service centers or the full parts distributor book. The small booklet will map to a envelope number in those blue plastic bins commonly found for sale eBay. Whereas the distributor book will map to the Timex part number used at the factory. The two ( envelope number, part number) can not be cross referenced. Also, the distributor books are not cumulative year to year. So you must have a series of books that cover a range of years. That is unless you have a inventory such as myself. I already know I do not have the crystal anymore as it was used on many other cases besides the one shown.

I keep a generic supply on hand - 30.2 30.4 30.6 and 30.8. They are good for mid 1960's to early 1970's Marlin mostly. Not always correct fit but I'd say the better percentage of times I get them to work.

I have several different parts catalogs, incuding the stem/crown sets for many years and can't seem to locate this. It is a Great Britain watch which I don't seem to have any information on (and have never found any parts catalogs for).

Here's an image of it. Only pic I have as I'm actually trying to help someone looking for the part myself. I may have the part he needs, I just can't seem to find a part number for the Great Britain models.

Thanks watchweasol, but I've got that manual. Unfortunately these types of manuals just show 401/1 (or 401/2) which is the Timex item number for a stem and crown in genral, but not the individual part number for the one that fits the watch I'm looking for. Timex released stem/crown kits throughout the 70s, and I have many of those kits (several hundred stem/crowns), but none I have list this particular case/movement combination. I also have one big factory reference, but it's from '83, and doesn't go back this far.

I can usually identify most US models from 60's to late 80's, but I've found the Great Britain models harder to determine part numbers for. They may have even used a completely different numbering scheme, I'm actually not sure!

Sorry for the confusion, no, I was just using a sample to help the others with what I was looking for. I'm trying to find the crown/stem part number for code 47670 3272. I can't seem to find that code in any of my books.

Thanks for confirming that @JerseyMo, I kind of figured that was the case as I can never seem to match those, but wasn't sure and have not been able to find any UK parts catalogs or sources to look them up.

I do have a pretty good supply of the actual stems and crowns, yes. Not sure how many, but I'd guess around 200 different part numbers and over a 1000 total parts. Most of mine came either from the small kits or the larger sets in the white boxes, but pretty sure they were all US kits.

I've been interested in watches and clocks for over a decade and tinker when I get the time, but I also have a site where I sell NOS parts. Honestly, I enjoy sharing the parts and helping folks find a replacement as much as fixing watches (That's the case with this one, was trying to help someone determine the part they needed). Just a hobby at this point, but I've collected quite a large supply of parts of all kinds over the years. Think I've bought at least 6 or 7 estates over the years, and always looking for more!

I have a few hundred more Timex parts on the way as well Always looking for decent deals, but getting harder and harder to find them. The tough part is getting them photographed, and listed. Trying to continue building inventory as I near retirement so I can play with this stuff when I don't have to spend 50 hours a week at my real job

Timex is a rich, comprehensive Date/Time library for Elixir projects, with full timezone support via the :tzdata package. Ifyou need to manipulate dates, times, datetimes, timestamps, etc., then Timex is for you! It is very easy to use Timex typesin place of default Erlang types, as well as Ecto types via the timex_ecto package.

If you are coming from an earlier version of Timex, it is recommended that you evaluate whether or not the functionality providedby the standard library Calendar API is sufficient for your needs, as you may be able to avoid the dependency entirely.

For those that require Timex for one reason or another, Timex now delegates to the standard library where possible, and providesbackward compatibility to Elixir 1.8 for APIs which are used. This is to avoid duplicating effort, and to ease the maintenance ofthis library in the future. Take a look at the documentation to see what APIs are available and how to use them. Many of them may havechanged, been removed/renamed, or have had their semantics improved since early versions of the library, so if you are coming froman earlier version, you will need to review how you are using various APIs. The CHANGELOG is a helpful document to sort through whathas changed in general.

Timex is primarily oriented around the Olson timezone database, and so you are encouraged to use those timezones in favor of alternatives. Timex does provide compatibility with the POSIX-TZ standard, which allows specification of custom timezones, see this document for more information. Timex does not provide supportfor timezones which do not adhere to one of those two standards. While Timex attempted to support timezone abbreviations without contextin prior versions, this was broken, and has been removed.

There are some brief examples on usage below, but I highly recommend you review theAPI docs here, there are many examples, and some extra pages withricher documentation on specific subjects such as custom formatters/parsers, etc.

To use Timex, I recommend you add use Timex to the top of the module where you will be working with Timex modules,all it does is alias common types so you can work with them more comfortably. If you want to see the specific aliasesadded, check the top of the Timex module, in the __using__/1 macro definition.

There are a ton of other functions, all of which work with Erlang datetime tuples, Date, NaiveDateTime, and DateTime. The Duration module contains functions for working with Durations, including Erlang timestamps (such as those returned from :timer.tc)

Timex itself defines its core operations on the Date, DateTime, and NaiveDateTime types using the Timex.Protocol protocol. From there, all other Timex functionality is derived. If you have custom date/datetime types you want to use with Timex, this is the protocol you would need to implement.

Timex includes the Tzdata library for time zone data.Tzdata has an automatic update capability that fetches updates from IANA and which is enabled by default; if you want to disable it, check the Tzdata documentation for details.
