***********************************************************
KICK'EN IT
THE ONLY REASON OI AM NOT CALLING THIS ABSOLUTE NEAR MINT CONDITION POWDER
AND GOLD COATED STAINLESS STEEL 1992 T2 BULOVA OCEAN STAR ALARM CHRONOGRAPH IT MINTS
IS THAT SOMEONE CHANGED THE BATTERY A FEW YEARS AFTER MY PATRON INVESTED IN THIS BEAUTY
AND USED LOCK TIGHT ON THE CASE BACK. FOR FIFTEEN YEARS IT SAT IN A DRAWER. I WAS ABLE TO
MAKE THE SLOTS LARGER AND USED A WATCH VISE AND WAS ABLE TO SCREW OFF THE CASE BACK. THE
ONLY DAMAGE WAS THE LARGER SLOTS AND SOME SCRATCH MARKS.
NOW, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE CREDIT FOR DOING MORE THAN REMOVING THE CASE
BACK AND FIGURING HOW EVERYTHING WORKS BUT THE ALARM, BUT I CANNOT. IT SIMPLY IS ONE OF
HOSE FINDS W ALL LOOK FOR. A 20YEAR OLD BEAUTIFUL WATCH PLACED IN A DRAWER FOR NEAR 16
