Best price/place to get Rotary watch battery?

eBay, DIY and some silicone sealant - or spend the £30 and get the job done properly - depends how much the watch is worth - personally I'd spend a max of £5 on a watch these days - but then I never wear one!

My husbands Rotary watch needs the battery changing.

I think its £30 (ish) to send to Rotary to get it done & the cost & delay of recorded post.

Its a waterproof watch, so you can't just get it done in any old shop or market. It has to be resealed in a certain way after.

So apart from Rotary, does anyone have any other ideas?

Be glad to know of somewhere on the high street (& hopefully cheaper) as we all have these watches in our house.

I have a Tag and it costs much the same to have a new battery (too much just now, hence the reason I'm wearing an old watch at the mo :rolleyes: ). I've never been able to find anywhere where they will guarantee the seal so I'm afraid you may have no choice but to send it in to Rotary - an expensive pain in the rump, but at least you know it's a job well done. I try and think of it as costing about a penny a day to keep a nice watch on my wrist.

PS: Won't a local Rotary jeweller send it in for you? I take mine to Ernest Jones, they send it so I don't have the worry of it being lost or damaged in the mail.
