Need your advice. I took my wife's watch (see above) to my local watch specialist and he told me that he can't put a battery in it (it hasn't run for nearly 25 years!) as the sealing ring has dissolved (or something like that) and run into the movement. It would require additional tlc. Does this sound feasible?
Tx for your help.

that certainly can happen - and it is a real pain to remove from a movement. I,d suggest that you contact Paul at


http://electric-watches.co.uk/

He worked wonders on my f300 - and comes thoroughly recommended

Best of luck, paul

 

Thanks for the tip. I've emailed Paul - or have I emailed you, Paul, after your blatant piece of self-advertising ?
Will let you know what happens - unless you know already ....

ohhh ... gotcha

 

Nope, no self advertising going on here. I,m just a happy customer, ans was amazed at what Paul at electric watches could do to my old battered f300 connie

 

Thanks Paul (both of him!) Sending watch off today. Thanks for the top.

Bloody spellchock!

 

come on! Paul and Paul are not the same guy?

 

I don't think Paul is Paul. Paul is Paul's customer. As is Roger now. Paul's I mean, not Paul's, of course.

 

thanks for clearing that up for me.

 

Sorry about this Paul. That's typically what you get on this forum for trying to help someone (you too. Paul.)
