Heaps better than Walter White's calculator watch (although I craved for one of these when I was 11 years old...).
Great one, Dad, chuck in that new battery and keep the lovely wabi!

Get it running, and install a new set get the seals...I'll expect to see it on your wrist while diving, sometime in the near future.

I can't add any more than has been written. Nice buy for the money though!

Yep, Watch Guy opened his shop at 9. I was out of there 9.15 with new battery & watch running & set to 9.15 by atomic clock. Had it on the wrist all day at work. Now 14 hours 6 minutes later & my Junk shop watch is close enough for me! Watch + battery still stands me less then £10 a real Lunch money watch  Just need to find a bezel spring now for my little 5H26-7A10 from 1989 chinathumbsup.gif |

cheering-clapping-smiley-emoticonFantastic find there Jason! Much like the others here I too had the Pepsi version for a while. Great price too. I regret selling mine now. Be sure to document the clean up process for us. Mine was near NOS - amazing original condition. Worked perfectly, and I paid damn near nothing for it. Sold it, like an idiot. |

We all rave about the 6105's, 6309's etc. Quite rightly. But there's loads of these little watches out there. Not going mad, will clean it up & get a bezel spring fitted. Any ideas where I can find one? Maybe a crystal but TBH will prob just try to polish this one out a bit. |

Maybe try Stefan or Cousins ? cartshed, do I need an account with Cousins? Yes but it's easy to set up. I've got one so will check it out for you now to see if they have the bits. |
