My now 95-year-old father-in-law found this watch on Revere Beach back in the 60s. It’s been in his drawer ever since. He gave it to me about a year ago. This thread inspired me to put in a new battery (a quick Internet search revealed a Duracell 357 is correct for most Timex Electrics). Nothing happened. I tapped it, shook it up a little bit, banged it on the top of my dresser, and the damned thing started ticking!
Reinforcing Canuck’s point, mine says West Germany on the spacey blue dial.
