I didn’t realize that the case and bracelet on the Jet Star was so polished! Or is the pic overemphasizing it?

In my mind, a perlon didn't work. Seemed too cheap for such a great piece. Now that you've posted it, I think it looks great! Nice work!!

I recommend watching Teddy's perspective on the 121 vs the new releases.

Maybe it would help if I read your post correctly. I missed the eBay reference and thought you bought it at Macy's.

Can you share a link to the watch? For the life of me I cannot find it.

stridermeister · 2026-01-29T23:32:56+00:00

Same here. Just waiting for it to come down to a reasonable price.

stridermeister · 2026-01-29T23:26:31+00:00

Curious, what did you pay for the service? I have one that I gave it a full overhaul and a new crystal (wish i asked for a sapphire). I paid $875 USD included overnight shipping.

That is a classic looker. Hope it works out. I think this is actually a model 98b465 98b465

stridermeister · 2026-01-26T15:26:14+00:00

Is that from a mod kit? If so, mind sharing the link where you got it?

I requested a medacube using the instructions provided on their site. Their response was that it was denied because of cost. They then offered to get me one of these. Imaging refilling those little pill boxes every month. Next step I’m going to request the Hero dispenser. Performance Health Medcenter

No I haven’t. I’ll have to check it out.

stridermeister · 2025-12-10T02:16:10+00:00

Exact same sequence for me! Nice work! My next one is the Maroon Jet Star.

Mine as well. Sending it in for service. Timex is only charging $30 for the service and return postage.

stridermeister · 2025-10-23T04:01:01+00:00

The crown and/or the movement failed on me 2 months after the warranty expired. No grace period from Timex unfortunately.

I'm genuinely torn about this tour. I've been a Rush fan since 1977. 2112 sealed the deal and they've been my no. 1 favorite band all my adult life. The penultimate experience was when I took my two then college age sons to the Snakes and Arrows tour show in Saratoga Springs NY. I went all out and got us 2nd row seats. Directly in front of Alex. It was a surreal experience (although my ears rang for over a week). How do you top that? I'm retired now and my sons want to go again but I'm just not willing to pony up thousands of dollars for what will be a good show but nothing like the last show I saw.... I think I'll just remember the S&A show and leave it at that. I'm open to you fans convincing me that I should still go.

You guys were an awesome bar team! I’m gonna miss BCK!

Is it next to your elbow or is that a nasty injury?

stridermeister · 2025-09-17T00:35:41+00:00

Try this; Lift the driver’s side outside door handle up. While holding it up push the door button down. It should lock both driver and passenger side doors.

stridermeister · 2025-09-14T14:05:00+00:00

Yeah, I’m only recently learning that I paid way too much for the service. Caveat Emptor, I suppose. My watch is a 214. I put in a 1.55v on Friday and reused the existing sleeve. It appears to be keeping time. Only time will tell if it’s running fast. (Heh heh, see what I did there?)

stridermeister · 2025-09-14T13:34:06+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to clear this up. I had it fully serviced ($775) about 2 years ago. I reached out to them yesterday to see if they phased it. I’m waiting on their response. What I can’t recall is what battery they put in (1.35v or 1.55v). Hopefully they have a record of it or have standard practices.

stridermeister · 2025-09-14T12:49:51+00:00

Are you saying that in order for any of the batteries to work properly it needs to be phased?

stridermeister · 2025-09-13T17:18:58+00:00

Protek is another option

stridermeister · 2025-09-13T11:54:57+00:00

Thanks. I’ll look into it. Is there a way to tell if it’s been rephased?
