QUOTE(jonny4 @ Oct 24 2011, 12:48 PM) The last time I went to these regular watch shops to change batt they didn't seal the watch properly and water got in. But that was a Guess brand watch la. I really dun want anything to happen to my precious Seiko. it depends on the back cover. since its a quartz, im guessing it has a snap on back coveR? or is it screw type? hard to say how the previous guys did it, or was it the case fault, etc.. but even u go to a seiko dealer, they'll do it for u there itself. i doubt it needs to be sent to thong sia lo.

current Seiko is a screw type back cover. the Guess I can't remember.
Coz I was thinking that if I bring it to Thong Sia and if they screw up my watch, there will some kind of compensation. im just assuming.
btw how much does these kind of batts cost ? not exactly maybe a price range.

The coating is not so resist to scratch so i have to really careful with the coating. My friend at my school always want to touch my watch.I always hide my watch near those people as the coating is a fingerprint magnet.

hi, just found out that lowyat.net had a seiko thread. Been using this seiko for quite a while now...and very happy with it. The lightest metal watch that I have ever owned. Introducing the seiko Titanium Chrono SNA139P (7T62 movt)
This watch is a keeper for me as 200m Water Resist versions of this watch is quite rare. What I like : Light as hell What I dislike : Titanium bracelet is a scratch magnet (I guess i'll change it to a military style cordura strap when I have the time) This post has been edited by fariq_azad: Oct 25 2011, 12:52 PM

Got the battery changed today at a regular watch shop. Was told that my watch's rubber seal is worn out but still ok...he applied some kind of "sealant" around the seal. HE advised me to avoid swimming taking a bath with my watch.
I'll probably go to Thong Sia to change the rubber seal soon. Anyone know how much would replacing a rubber seal cost ?
