    It will help to provide a picture; Just the watch, not the washer.

    Can you open it up? All you need to know is on the caseback.

    Hmm, it might be possible to unscrew the back, back it seems hard. Need a super grip with your fingers. But I will try. Thanks for info Ericoh.

    Dial and case still look decent. It might be possible to find a replacement movement instead of a whole watch.

    You may be able to open the back using a shiny rubber ball like this, found where toys are sold.

    I've found the right kind of rubber ball at Dollar Tree stores with cartoon pictures of fruit on them:

    A bargain at $1 each.
