Here is a cool story. I was out hunting around the lodge here when I got a decent tone. I dug up what appeared to be a watch. No biggie I thought. I took my finds inside and started tinkering with the watch. I thought to myself, there is no way this watch would ever tick again. I couldn't even get the winder knob to pull out. Well, I put a drop of oil on the winder and to my amazement it pulled out! well, then the next problem, to get the hour and minute hands to turn, with a little "back and forth" motion with the winder, they started to move! well that was cool and all but the second hand ticker just didn't want to go. I thought OK, that was fun sat the watch down and went home for the evening. well, the next day I went back up to the lodge, saw the watch I had placed there from the previous evening and I couldn't believe my eyes! The second hand was ticking!! It works to this day. I wrote Timex with photos and they just loved it. I guess it goes to show ya....Timex...it takes a licking and keeps on ticking! cheers!~ note: second hands in each photo is different!
