NOTES
1. September 8 2024 | Found not altogether deceased but diseased, but was running slow, losing about a minute per hour; the seconds hand seemed to pause every 60-90 seconds or so. Replaced 371 battery. To open use the yellow knife; The indentation is imperceptible. Pull the battery out with tweezers; there’s no need to unscrew the tiny little persky screw. To snap back, use 34/45 (back/glass); no snapping sound, just feel it to make sure it’s snapped. Strap is odd. One side had a 22mm 0.8 springbar, the other a 22mm 0.5 springbar in a tube. Converted to quick-release.
