Soldato
Whilst picking up my new Mondaine watch (only £139) from Goldsmiths I thought I'd ask how much battery replacement would cost. I was quite shocked that it was going to be £45 upwards and a similar price for the Skagen watch I got from them a couple of months ago. They said the watches are sent back to their respective service centres for battery changes hence the price.
There's a watch repair shop in Uxbridge who changes batteries for £6 but I've lost faith in them as they didn't seal my old Mappin & Webb properly and they broke a screw on my Polar HRM watch. Suffice to say, I'm not going back there!
I understand that it's not just a case of replacing the battery i.e. sealing needs to be done properly. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced place that I can keep in mind for the future? I'm in west London so anywhere around there or in central will be OK.
