There
are no visible chips or gouges to the watch, it has the original
battery clip, and the whole thing is in fantastic condition.
In good working order, this
watch has an encapsulated display, not the later COB type that would
lose segments. The module also uses the ITT control IC.
Do bear in mind this is an original piece and must be treated gently.
It will be supplied with two sets of cells, one fitted. No other accessories are included.
Some
long-standing rumours concerning the Sinclair Black Watch are a bit silly.
'The watch
suffered from serious inherent design flaws. These included the
batteries only having a 10-day life and being difficult to replace.
This was despite advertisement claims that the batteries lasted a year.'
All LED watches I own have a minimum battery life of six months, and
that's on budget Poundland cells. A ten-day life would be ridiculous -
the design would never have been approved. ITT would have been
laughed out of business had they desiged a watch IC that had such high
current drain. Cells last a long time in this watch. Admittedly, the cells are a nightmare to replace if you are heavy handed.
All reasonable offers will be considered. It will be sent by RMSD with appropriate insurance or can be collected.
All
items are USED and will show signs of USE. All items are photographed
inside and out. All items are SECURITY MARKED and have a non-removable
barcoded security sticker to prevent tampering. It will not be possible
to remove or replace internal components without destroying the
security measures.
