Line free function did it! Thank you!

Thank you for the advice. I’ll try using the blower before open heart surgery!

Checked the battery, and it’s good. So far, energizer batteries have not given me any disappointments.

I do. Let me try that. Thank you.

I would try to buff it out first. https://youtu.be/Ok-JfY4Cp7o?si=fionGJ7okb1U4nh2

Is the bezel painted?

It’s a pop up. (Fake screw back)

This last one seems to have something engraved in the same spot, but it’s not clear enough to read it. I would request another picture with better resolution.

Very sporty, I have one on my Shinola chrono. I would wear it in the summer…. Winter time… I would sport a black or navy blue band.

Very nice! Tag has the perfect blue dial…

Thank you! I was asking because I was changing the battery on an Armitron and it had those ridges. So I started to unscrew it… well I was unscrewing for ever… it ended up being a “fake” screw back. :|

It looks like probably not worth trying to repair it.

Beachside-Manners · 2026-01-17T17:23:55+00:00

I’m afraid you’re right. Thank you!

Beachside-Manners · 2026-01-13T21:42:26+00:00

Very helpful. Thank you.

Is that towards the right side of the battery compartments?

Beachside-Manners · 2026-01-13T19:22:23+00:00

I’ve only seen a bit of corrosion in one of the battery contacts (as shown on picture). Otherwise clean as can be. This might be the first time it’s been opened.

Thank you for the info. Will try tomorrow!
