Re: is replacing your own battery THAT difficult?

In Response To: is replacing your own battery THAT difficult? ()

: I have just bought 2nd hand Omega Seamaster and
: would like to replace the battery.
: Can anyone tell me if replacing the battery
: myself is that difficult, and how to go
: about the job?

Take it and have it done. Unless you are willing to invest in the right case opener tool to do the job, you are likely to screw up the watch case. And that will cost more than a battery change.

Plus, the exact procedure varies from watch to watch, so other than the obvious of opening the watch, finding the battery, figuring out how to remove it, finding the right replacement, putting the new one in and closing the back -- can't really tell you more specific than that.

So it really isn't worth the expense and risk of a hack home job. Let a pro do it. It is not that expensive in the scheme of things.
