Hi everyone from a newbie (don't all groan at once).
I've been interested in/collecting mechanical watches for about three years now and I'm a complete sucker for late 60's and 70's models (and watches). Something about that time period and it's general ethos just connects with me whether it's music, cars, architecture or indeed watches, I love it!
Anyway, I'm thinking of buying a Heuer Chronosplit 102.703, the LCD/LCD model. I'm completely new to LCD watches (this is my first post here) and would appreciate any information/photos/links about the Chronosplit. The watch isn't working at the moment, I don't know whether it just needs a new battery or a replacement LCD unit/module. I've heard rumours that a DKNY module has been fitted to the Manhattan, would it fit into the Chronosplit? TBH I can't even figure out how to remove the back at the moment, that's how much help I need!
Here's some pics of the watch:
As the sharp eyed amongst you will notice it's also a military issue piece, which really makes me want to get it working again.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing from you. All help will be much appreciated and if anyone can recommend a specialist to restore this watch back to its former glory I'm all ears.
Cheers,
Gary
P.S. Here's the sort of watch I usually collect:
An Omega Speedmaster MKII from '69 for those interested.
