Here they are.....
That is right now i have two..
I promised a wristshot, here it is.
Sorry this one is a little blurry.
I bought a second one on eBay listed as defect, just for the original manual and extra bracelet links.
And thought i'd give it a shot at trying to get it running again.
The seller had it cleaned and battery replaced at the jeweller in autumn 2011, he had it as a daily wearer,
since he bought it from a jeweller in 1994.
Then the bracelet was broken and he had it repaired, however when he got it back the date hand
was hanging too far down...he had it repaired under warranty....well repaired?
It was now no longer running at all!
The jeweller had told him the watch would have to be sent back to the factory for repairs,
and that the costs of repairing would be more then the value of the watch.
The seller wanted to hand it down to his oldest son,
but now it was no longer working decided to sell it on eBay.
I bought it for 82Euro's, when it arrived it was as dead as could be...so i decided to open it up.
Lifted the module partially out of its case, blew some air in it, rubbed the back with a dry cloth.
In order to clean the fingerprints i left behind.
Pushed all the buttons i could find, theres also one inside that said "Push here"
No idea what it does...
Still it did not run, i decided to pop the module back into it's case...kinda giving up reanimation
was a difficult task since the push buttons were not allowing it back into it's position.
So with some wiggling of a knife it finally popped back in.
I screwed back the caseback....and decided to spank my watch...
WOW!! reanimation was succesful....i now have a working watch!
I even got it to synchronize with the radiosignals...and it has worked perfectly since.
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
The reason i collect watches is because it feels like i'm buying time.
