Ooooooh! Nice surprise!
I have two Seiko watches,that don't work. Really nice watches for formal occasions. I used to take it to Sears to change the battery; they no longer provide the service. I took it to Chinatown to try and repair, they wanted to charge me an arm and a leg to fix it; guess they figure they have a captive audience.
Really, Aunty!!
Chet, if you just need batteries, Wendell takes his watches to Hawaii Watch Service Center in Chinatown. The guy charges Wendell around $6. If you turn left onto King from River Street, it's on the left hand side. It doesn't look like a watch repair store. It has bags for sale hanging outside. A long time ago, the guy scolded me for trying to take photos of the bags.
Thanks Jalna, I'll check it out. Thanks for the heads up, I won't take pics of the bags....lol.
ooh wow...interesting!
I love your watch stories and pics Jalna! I got my first ever watch from Wigwam Stores in the mid 1960's. It was a Waltham. It was a divers style watch that us surfers liked to wear and it was waterproof. Maybe you can look out for one in your swap meet travels. At the time they seemed a little unknown. But their quality was famous going back to the 1850's! I always considered Waltham the Swiss watch maker of America! I always sought out very special rare unknown things.
Here a wiki link with info. You can search the net for more info about Waltham watches.

Swiss Army are pricey watches!
It is yah, Kat.
Mark, I'll be looking for Waltham watches at the swap meet!
Susan, no way could I afford a brand new one.
is this gonna be your retirement job?
Oh my gosh! What are you going to do with all those watches?
