<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 609613, member: 6444"]That's hard when it's a $500 plus watch in running condition. Batteries are easy - you just need a tool to remove the back without damage; it's what I used to open the back of this one, hoping I'd see something obvious (but I didn't). A lot of Swiss watches like this one have no battery but a wind movement or automatic movement - no winding needed since it is wound by moving your arm. That makes them more complicated and expensive to build but harder to repair.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
