Invicta watch runs backward?? "Click" to Login or Register 
posted
I have a nice Invicta large "Lupah" model 2389 WW that has run for about two years on the original battery. I purchased a new 371 battery like the original When I installed it and set the time it stuttered a little ran backwards a few seconds stuttered some more tnen ran forward a few seconds and stopped. I went to Radio Shack and bought another battery and it still does the same little dance but wont run. Am I missing something???....Thanks........Keith

Hi Chris, Thanks for your reply to my question about the watch wanting to run backwards. I have done some research into the various options and the have found that the most likely and reasonable answer is a new Harley-Ronda 705 movement at less than $12.00........Keith

Thats the way Smile and no doubt a fresh battery & spare stem also for $12 cant beat that.
