you have to WEAR it.
as you move around, it self winds.
Don't you remember those watches. They were popular in the 70's?
If you don't want to actually wear it, rock it back and forth for a little
while, and that will wind it up
The only other possibility is that I busted it bringing it over.
But geez if it is a military watch, it should have withstood that and more
huh?
just try and rock it for more than a little shake.
I really did have a watch like that in the 70s' and it did work ok
