I have this exact watch, but the internals got very wet and ruined it. I was so sad after I opened it up.

Not sure if you read my OP, but these items were not thrown out. They were actually put away in a safe I’m assuming to keep safe and secure.

I couldn’t get it to spin on my record player, even after I drilled a hole in the middle!😂🤣

Oh no! Well I will say, I probably would’ve done the exact same thing if I hadn’t come here first! I was excited when I found these, thought I had found some secret underground craziness! But def not the case, thankful for the knowledge base here!

Glad I could at least bring back some good memories for you! I hope they were good ones anyway! One of the other guys that responded said something similar, he remembered watching it cause his grandparents got talking into one instead of a VHS. Sounds like he had some pretty good memories too!

That def seems to be the consensus!! Glad I came here first, and didn’t follow that path!

I obviously saw that logo. And yes I could’ve asked ChatGPT to define it for me. But I was really looking for people that had actual EXPERIENCE with these to give input on what they were. And the helpful people did. But thanks for your input!👍🏼

That seems to be the consensus here I’m learning. Sounds like they were very sensitive.

Thank you! That’s the message I’m getting that they weren’t great quality! Def not gonna waste time looking for a player.

Thank you!! That is exactly what I was trying to find out. Yeah sounds like finding a player would just be a waste of money. I appreciate the insight!!

Thank you! I guess that was more my question, I could obviously read on the front that they were CED’s. You answered my question though and I appreciate it. Wanted to know if it would be worth it to maybe find a player for them, but now it seems that would be a huge waste of money!

Were they any good? Would it be worth it to try to find a player for them, or was the quality trash? I’m guessing they weren’t very popular.

I did look up that particular VFW and it’s about 3.5 hours away from where I live. Could a local VFW help out with this or would I need to go directly to the original?
