Rare TIMEX Electronic 1980 Olympic Watch With Pepsi Bezel & Blue Dial

[What Does Your Watch Say?]

I don't usually call watches rare, but this is a rare watch. Made by Timex for the 1980 Olympics but because of the boycott the watches were never distributed to the general public. These do not come up for sale often and this one is is a very nice example. The original bracelet is not on the watch and comes with a stretch band. Cosmetically the watch looks excellent--the bi-directional bezel turns firmly, the crystal is clear and the dial is beautiful. The chrome case shows no wear. The module runs when I installed a new battery, the second hand moves but the hour and minute hands don't move, they only move when I turn the crown. The quickset date works and the second hand hacks. These movements can be serviced but I don't have the funds to have the work done.

This is an uncommon watch but because it needs servicing I'm factoring that into my asking price.
