Shoes and Batteries

I have an ancient Seiko watch, one of the early analogue/digital ones, which I rather fancy trying to use again.  But the jewellers in Hitchin wouldn't open the watch, saying that it was probably a lithium battery and they didn't supply or fit them.  But two doors down, she said, "Jamie's" was a shoe repair shop and they would be able to.

Sure enough, Jamie's was able to help, but the watch was not happy.  However, the chap said that he'd have a go at cleaning it to see if it would work.  It was worth a try, but I'll find out next week if it worked.

I took this of the chap doing the shoe repairs; he wasn't using that machine on my old watch.
