madbakerMy watch stopped working. Again. A week after replacing the battery for the second time. The first time, we got the battery changed at a joyeria (routine, I had had the watch for a couple years). The second time a few weeks later, at a watch counter in a department store (also routine) - assumption being we were given a bad battery. This time, the wife found a genuine watch repair place to look at it.
The culprit? The joyeria put in the wrong battery, and the replacement equally wrong battery fried the watch's circuit board.
Replacing the circuit board is also pretty routine, apparently, but the guy is keeping the watch for a couple weeks to make sure it doesn't have any further problems.
The only upside from this was that the watch repair place is downtown, so the wife met me at the end of the work day. We walked around for a while and then had an early dinner at Tadich (the oldest restaurant west of the Mississippi, if you believe their official story). It's old-school fish and was very good, as always.
