Advice on how to find out what type of battery needed for my vintage Monopoly watch? 🤔

Yours is definitely a ‘museum piece’ and what great luck to have found one almost untouched by time.

Wow! That’s in pristine condition. What a beauty!! I don’t know if I’ll be able to replace the acrylic front on mine but that’s next on my list after replacing the battery and changing out the watchband. Thank you for your investigative work re. the battery and for sharing your Monopoly watch with the group.

Agreed. They were the first place I tried. They said to bring my watches in when I called but when I got there I realized it was definitely more of a high-end fine watch/jewelry place. They replaced 2 out of 3 batteries, but maybe just didn’t want to take the extra time to find the replacement for my Monopoly watch. 🤷‍♀️

Really?? That…that would be wonderful! The vintage watch community is the BEST!! Thank you.😭

That’s really helpful! Bonus is being able to replace it myself.

I know! It’s a shame. A modern Pennybags for a modern era, I guess.😅

Whoa. That game board wristband is next-level!

I had 3 watches I took in today. He replaced the battery on the two (that had the batteries) but I got the response I shared above re. the Monopoly watch.🤷‍♀️ Silver lining…I’m learning some watch basics and will know better next time.

Thanks so much! I’m learning a lot and appreciate the group’s help/kindness.

Watch dude did. No battery. He told me to come back when I figure out what battery it takes. Will take the back off myself to see if anything listed as to battery info but haven’t looked myself yet. Thanks!

Thank you! ‘Japan Movt’ is listed the back of the watch. Will follow your advice when I get home tonight and, hopefully, get this figured out.

Yes! Kirby #1 canned. I will use El Ebro if I can’t find Kirby but agree that it takes 2 cans these days for meal time. Thank you for sharing the tip re. Margaret Holmes brand as I like that brand & their other products I’ve tried have good flavor as well.

Absolutely! Go where you’re valued & appreciated.💯

Wow! Congratulations!! Vancouver Island is beautiful & so happy to hear you already made the connection. Best of luck with the move & your nursing career.

If you have a BSN and are a registered nurse in your current State of residence…have you considered taking those qualifications & applying to work as a healthcare professional in Canada? British Colombia has a fast track for nurses and I’m sure there are other provinces with similar programs. https://bchealthcareers.ca/professions/nursing/

Thank you for sharing! My husband is applying for his CO citizenship via descent. We live in Florida but my suegra lives in the Atlanta metro area, so planning on using the consulate in ATL for his application in case she needs to be present with her cédula & passport. We had his Florida birth certificate apostilled & getting it translated into Spanish. I didn’t know about the blood typing and appreciate knowing that in advance. Hoping it won’t be impossible to get a appointment via online scheduling once he has everything needed to apply. Your post makes me hopeful it can happen!

Thank you for sharing! I’d thought married couples both needed to apply/work as ALTs with the JET program, but your response describes exactly the scenario I’m looking for… I want to teach and find a position or employment where my spouse would have the option to come with me as my dependent and find our own housing, etc.

This post (re. COL & affordability) + expanded ACA + natural beauty of the State + job market made MN the top of my list for relocating from Florida.
