Brought the Sea Angler to my watch guy. He opened it, cleaned the contacts, checked the battery, put it back together with same battery and it works FINE!
His comments: As you guys mentioned: "When you pulled the crown out to save the battery (which he, too, agreed is insignificant!) it let in some moisture (I AM in the middle of a SWAMP! He actually said that!) and the contacts were affected. The battery in the watch is good....I expect it will last 5 years."
So, I will NEVER pull the crown out to save a battery again. (And to think, I was going to do that to my Quartz Omega Bond! The Horror!!
So, all is well on the bayou! I have the watch on now, and am enjoying every minute of it.
By the way, a BaliHa'i orange rubber strap matches the dial PERFECTLY!!
