400 dollar watch for 8 dollars

[JakePhelps]

Took the really nice watch i found last summer detecting on the beach to a jewelry repair shop today. They said all they needed to do was fix a band and replace the battery. Turns out the watch is solar powered and doesnt need a bettery replacing, only 24 hours in the sun to charge it for 180 days So the total for fizing the band was only 8 bucks, 400 dollar watch for 8 bucks? pretty good deal I reckon Plus now i have a nice watch to wear...

I see you have updated your avatar with a more recent picture.

Thanks guys, hopefully there will be sun today so i can try and charge the battery The reason someone lost it was they took it to a crappy jeweler to have the band fitted and the band was loose and it fell apart and off, im guessing....

 

[Monty]

Yes, a new pic. It was taken when I was on that TV series, the Sampsons or Simspoons or something like that. I only regret I didn't have on my lucky blue prospecting shirt. Sorry to piggy back your post Jake. Forgive me?
