TGIF. It's been a long week. This week, I had to declare one of my watches dead. It died on the table. Once upon a time, it was one of my favorite cheap watches. It was my OlaOficina SKMEI Military-Style watch.

Why God? Why? I had to declare this watch dead because I cannot get the watch back off to replace the battery. I have tried and tried. For two weeks, I have tried. Unfortunately, the case back removal tools that I have cannot get the purchase needed to remove this caseback. I think the case indents are just a little shallow for the tool's teeth to get a good grip.

Fortunately, this watch was very inexpensive. Amazingly, back in 2017, it cost less than $10. Unfortunately, I can't find the same watch on Amazon now. However, I'd try SKMEI watches again, they have lots of interesting watches available at the SKMEI Amazon store. In the meantime, I'll re-use the strap on another suitable watch. It's the circle of life or time or something.
