Are old Timex watches worth money?
a very old timex watch was an item I could not find a price in the internet even when many links wrote about them. Mostly for identification on especific models and showing the pictures of timex from the 20's and 30's past down to the next generation. I do figure an old timex watch in perfectly working condition would have value to collectors.
It's pretty cool!
The Timex Flix system activates the Indiglo night-light with a simple flick of your wrist. To activate FLIX, put the watch into Night-Mode by pressing and holding the Indiglo night-light button 3 seconds till it beeps. Then simply do a hard flick of your wrist to light up the watch face, it will stay lite for 3 seconds.
