Friday Project:
Found these two Tags in the bottom of a draw at my folks - the stainless one was my Dad's first "proper" watch. That just needed a battery and it was running. As for og yellow one, looked like water damage to the movement, so found an old watch on ebay that had the same ETA quartz movement, and replaced it with that. Also needed to switch over the date wheel as the ebay watch was at 6. Bit more fiddly than I'd expected (very much my first attempt at something like this, cheap tools, and tiny springs and wheels popping out all over!). Lost one screw, but luckily had the other movement's spare. Finally got it put back together and bingo, working!
Anyway thought I'd share, as i thought it may interest some of you, and they're actually really nice to wear. Also have a bit of history, as my dad used to wear the stainless one 24/7, and as you can see is battered.
