I've had this one for about 35 years ... it's well worn as you can see

I had a similar experience recently with a vintage watch I picked up at a flea market. It needed a 377 battery, and like you, I found one at Walmart for a steal! It's amazing how easily you can revive these old pieces. Speaking of watches, I’ve been looking into replica watches lately, especially the Rolex GMT-Master. Those gmt super clone models are so well-crafted that you almost can’t tell the difference unless you really look closely. It’s perfect for someone who just loves the style without the hefty price tag!

Yeah, I’ve been in the same spot before with an old watch that didn’t have a battery in it. It’s super annoying when there’s no marking inside to tell you what it takes.

Honestly, most of these watches use pretty common button batteries like the SR626SW battery equivalent or a 377. You can even find them cheap at places like Walmart or even online, way cheaper than what a jeweler would charge.

If the watch is a standard quartz movement, the battery is likely a common size, and you should be able to find a replacement at most stores like Walmart or even online. Usually, watch batteries come in sizes like SR626SW, CR2025, or others, depending on the watch's brand and model.
Also, while you’re checking out batteries, if you’re into watches, you might want to explore the idea of super clones watches. These replicas offer high-quality designs similar to some luxury watches, and you can get them at a fraction of the price of the originals.
