Finding time with the Vanquish 540

[diamonddave]

Found this Timex Titanium Dive Watch at the old park yesterday. Not sure when it was separated from it's owner but it had sunk down about 5 inches deep. It cleaned up well and the hands can actually be rotated. A quick Google search points to manufacture in the late 80's. I guess they do take a licking but this one's not ticking.

Remove the back bezel and remove the battery. Leave it inside a baggie full of rice for about a week. Clean the contacts, replace the battery, ... all good now
