The "crystal" would usually be so scratched up as to be unreadable at about the same time the battery died which averaged a year and a half .....
Now I live in Florida where most people haven't a clue what time it is.... particularly employees trying to get to work on time .....
I've offered them a Timex for Christmas but they tell me they can see the time on their cell phones .....??? ... oh
Wife is leaving for Colombia tomorrow and I purchased a Timex Indiglo digital for a brother in law down there..... for the life of me I can't figure how to set the time...
didn't mean to hijack your thread Art .... I hope you enjoy your nicely made item..... all the best
