Richardtr3a Posted April 23 Report Posted April 23 I need some help with my Wristwatch. It is a Tag Heuer professional and the battery has stopped. Last time this happened I had a special tool to remove the back of the watch and then I could identify the battery and order a new one. Now a long time later I can not find the special tool or a source of batteries. If anyone can help please post a link on this forum The Tr is away having a steering overhaul by a local specialist garage here in East Sussex. I hope that it goes better than the Watch. Please help Richard Quote

Richardtr3a Posted April 24 Author Report Posted April 24 Thanks for the link and I will call Clark when they open at 9.00. I was thinking of buying the watch opening tool and finding a battery supplier. Richard Quote

Trev Good Posted April 24 Report Posted April 24 When we lived in Sussex, I took my Patek Philippe to a jeweller watch specialist in Eastbourne. I think he must have used a hammer and chisel on it, but denied all responsibility! Quote
Richardtr3a Posted April 26 Author Report Posted April 26 Yesterday I took my wristwatch to Clark in Lewes and they replaced the battery for £15.00 in 1/2 hour. They were friendly and efficient. The watch is now working well and I will try to remember where to go next time. Also there was a good walk for the dog along the river. Quote
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted April 26 Report Posted April 26 (edited) Good outcome. Hope you bought a pint of Harveys while you were in their home town of Lewes https://www.harveys.org.uk/ Edited April 26 by BlueTR3A-5EKT Quote
