dang... now 0 for 2 on MJ watches

[Pete M]

none of my watch fixing skills has been able to overcome the corrosion inside the circuit boards.   I guess now I start buying up random old watches 'til I can find a match for a board swap? 

 

dang...

I’m sure there’s probably a few junk watches that could work for potential board swaps.

this one came with the original box and the box was quite generic.  still no idea if this was at all attached to Jeep or if it was a generic item on the shelf at K-mart. 

 

also the guts inside are different from each other.  same with the backs.  not sure if that bodes well for finding an exact match.

If you can't find a match or at least something that would fit in the case you could try one of those diy watch kits and see about making that fit.

I never knew you could get an MJ watch.

Kind of related, but did you see these on eBay also?

neat!  I see he's selling a TON of different faces. I wonder if he makes them or just has a giant stash from back in the day.

May be a good source for info if you shoot him a message.  He may know the specific model of watch that is and help point you in the right direction to find a donor.
