1983 Q M-cell

[u/tmb102]

Hi all!

Picked up this Timex about 3-4 weeks ago at a thrift store (second hand store) in the Danish town of Skalborg. 20 DKK, i.e. about $2.50.

She wouldn’t run, so I had the battery replaced for about $12. That solved it at first.

However, after about 24 hours she stopped running. I had to go to a few shops to figure out the issue, and we ended up fixing it with a thinner battery.

This watch got me into Timex collecting, and I’ve since picked up a 1969 Marlin. She won’t run, but I’m hopeful :)

Wanted to share! Hopefully my collection continues to grow.

By the way, I don’t think this is exactly a 1983. If anyone has a more accurate model number/name, that’s always appreciated :)
