Maybe it is hard to service. Difficult maybe to find the right Volt battery? Maybe not expensive, albeit i am disappointed by every watch which do not work. You can pull the trigger, and let us know what comes trough your path.
My Accutron Spaceview makes me smile every time I look at it...stare at it is more like it. It might be worth 2 or 3 times what I paid for it but that's not why I have it.
. . . for a few reasons, serviceability - or lack thereof - at the top of the list. Yes, there are electric specialists around (I know of one on the East Coast), and given enough time and money they can be fixed, but invariably for more than they're worth...
