![]() I used a four-grade nail file/buffer from CVS ($10) to remove scratches and polish the case best I could: Learned how to remove the stem and crown, face and hands.had a few near-disasters with static electricity, but finally resurrected an old friend. I knew shite about watch repair, but did some research and found a replacement movement - Ronda 515, as the 315 is now obsolete- for about $14, and a Wenger band for about $20. The leather band was dry rotted, and the old battery had leaked inside and fried the movement.but the crystal was immaculate, and the case was pretty scratched, but no dings or dents. I wore that bitch for almost 2 years until my sister gave me a Tag for graduation in '96.Ī month or so ago my wife found it in a box of graduate school shite in the attic. I wanted the stainless case w the cream dial and luminous hands/numbers cuz it was a throw back to the WWI "trench watch" - a small pocket watch worn on the wrist that could be read in the dark. The Swiss Army watches you could get for collecting Marlboro miles? Back then, you couldn't find the stainless/ luminous dial Cavalry watch in stores and I had already spent my miles on the original black with red bezel watch.closest you could come to the Marlboro Cavalry version was the gun metal cased one below with a black or white dial, so I bought it somewhere in the mall ($100 - I think) and traded itįor the Marlboro version (both watches brand new and in the box) with a bartender I worked with.
