replacing the battery on a swiss army watch

[holden j caufield]

does the back of the watch screw off counter clockwise or do I need to pop it off with a flathead?

Swiss Army Knife.

Take it to a jeweler or watch repair person. Should only be like $15 but worth it cuz they wont ****** it up.

What Victronix/Swiss Army advices.


From alt.horology.

It will cost me, once they send it out and get it back, $50 to replace the battery in my Swiss Army watch. Expensive but this way I know, maybe, it will be done correctly and the seals will remain intact.

recommend sending it out or taking it to a professional. I tried to replace mine and i cracked the glass while reattaching the back

..jewlers use a special plyers/wrench dodad to thread the back off. I wana get one of those. Otherwise you'll ah heck up the back of the watch if you improvise with a needlenose or something.
