FLwatchguy73 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Showing off the two most recent resurrections. The Casio is a 2005 vintage and was mine that I purchased new. It was my everyday watch until the battery quit. I tossed it in my tool box and proceeded to forget about it for 10 years. Fast forward to 3 days ago and my youngest son was organizing said toolbox for me and discovered it. I picked up a lithium battery and it came to life with zero issues. Remarkable honestly. I polished the Crystal this morning as it was a mess. It's supposed to self adjust the time with a radio signal I believe. Should give me another 5+ years of reliable service. The second is my most recent eBay purchase, a 1959 Timex 100 Beyonet / Darwin (depending on who you talk to). It looked ok in pictures but was missing the seconds hand and was stated to be a non-runner. Par for the course for most of my timexes, it was sluggish and stalling from dried lube, but nothing was broken. Gave it a good clean and lube, scrounged up a period second hand and gave the Crystal a good polish. Looks quite the treat. Scruffy Casio after 10 years bouncing around in a toolbox. Much better! Once neglected, revived and beautiful Timex 100 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
