[gui-talk] looking for Saco braille watch

[Rose Combs]

My original Seiko purchased in 1980 and it still runs although it is
battered, is a real problem to get into to change batteries.  One reason I
don't wear it any longer except as a backup is because so few stores can do
it, I usually had to go to Sears to have that one done but the newer one
seems to be much easier.  

That is good since I no longer have a Sears near me.

I was just wondering how easy it is to do because most people just bring the
watches to a jeweler.
