Hello all, I'm a newcomer to vintage LCD watches.
I won this watch on eBay. It "works" but the display is shot as it will go entirely dark just from the heat of my hand. If I place the watch in a cool area and the display returns to visibility.

I know it's a longshot, but where may I find LCD displays for Optel modules? Or, which vintage LCD watch brands use Optel modules so that I might salvage a display from another broken watch? Thanks.
