You can probably do this job yourself. The Tag/Heuer watches have a standard screw back, the tools for removing it can be had easily on ebay. The cells are readily available, and easy to replace.
The key to removing the back without damage is to use a tool that engages at least 3 of the 6 notches in the back, preferably all 6. Put the watch face down on the middle joints (palm side) of the first three fingers of your non-dominant hand, and squeeze the wrench tight against the watch between those fingers and your thumb. Use you dominant hand to turn the watch wrench counter clockwise, while keeping the watch body from turning by cupping up you the fingers that are gripping the watch. It shouldn't be very tight. The cell has a small spring clip that snaps out, releasing the cell. You shouldn't have to pay anything... This the sort of watch that a shopping mall watch seller can easily handle, and it usually only costs the price of a new cell. -Chuck Harris Joe Leikhim wrote:
I have a Tag Heuer men's watch. The battery is going out as the second hand looks to be advancing 4 seconds at a time while keeping time. What is involved for this watch? any special tools? This will be the third time the battery has been changed. What should I expect to pay? Who can do this? I live near Orlando (Oviedo).
