Brag of the year (surely!)
Hi folks,
I finally received today my "mystery" WWG that i've brought on Ebay about 2 weeks ago.
The seller had put a mention "for parts - sold as non-functional" but saw by the pictures
he posted that the watch seemed ok so took the risk of buying it and the long waiting
to get it started.
So once i received it today, the first thing that i did was to inspect if anything wasn't
broken. So far so good, everything is like on the pictures of the auction. So next step
was putting a battery...nothing. OK so i check the battery connectors and had some
rust on them, scraped it and reinserted the battery...still nothing. But the plate that
is holding the battery in place had some slack, so put a very small piece of aluminium
between the battery and the holding plate and...SUCCESS!! It works! :D
So here's finally the watch i was keeping a secret until it arrived:

Yes, you are not hallucinating, it's a Burger Time WWG!
When i first saw it on Ebay, i thought i was hallucinating. In 15 years of collecting WWG,
video games, etc...this is the first time ever saw or had proof that a Burger Time WWG
really exists. And strange, it was released by a company called "Diamant" but it has the
same type of casing/design than a Nelsonic Super Mario Bros./Zelda/Pac-Man/etc.
Still don't know the year it was released but i am assuming 1983 since the arcade game
came out in 1982.
Sorry but no time to write, i have some burgers to make! :P
