I bought my Tag Heuer SEL about 6 years ago in Switzlerland and my battery went out over a year ago, I just havent had the time to get it replaced. Since I bought it in Switzerland, where should I get the battery replaced at? Does anyone know how much its going to cost? And are there any other things that need to be done to it? Like repressurized.

I'm also thinking about getting a new/used watch for use during special occassions. I've been looking through the Rolex site but I'm confused on which one to get. My budget is $3k max but I would really like to spend less than that. I do not need a Presidential just yet, maybe someday, maybe something like a datejust?

 

you can get your battery replaced at the mall....at one of those watch shops..

 

Just take it to an authorized dealer. They'll replace the rubber gasket and do a pressure test. It'll run you closer to $50 than the $10 they'll charge at the mall.

You can't take it just anywhere - this is a high end watch. Not sure what you have around you, but find a jewelry store that sells them, and they can change the battery for about $50 or send the watch back to Tag for closer to $100 to get a new battery, cleaning and seals.

 

50-100 bucks for a process that takes 1 minute and it costs the company less than 25 cents. Many people at the mall are very qualified. If you send it off, it takes a while to get it back. Also, if you do NOT get the battery changed at an atuhorized dealer, they might deny warranty.
