OK...
So I tried everything that was suggested: fresh batteries, heat via a hairdryer, very light scraping and cleaning (with alcohol) of the battery contacts and compartments, but still no life.
...and since I cannot afford to have the watch repaired/refurbished at the moment, and also to be fair to all members who've expressed interest in purchasing, I've decided to list the watch on "that auction site" within the next couple of days.
The bidding will start at $1, and it will be an "AS-IS" "No Reserve" auction.
I'll make sure to post many pics (12 is the maximum allowed) and will answer any and all questions via "that auction site".
Many thanks to all members who contributed to this thread!
