New battery for Longines watch?
Discussion
Chaps,
I have an old Longines Ti Titanium watch which has a flat battery. It looks like this:
I have had it 12 years now, and have had the battery changed once (about 5 years ago). That time I took it into a decent-looking jewellers, and had a bit of a palaver. (They said they could do it themselves, which they did, but it leaked, so they tried again, and it leaked again, and they offered to try a third time ... )
What is the best way of going about it this time? Can anyone recommend a place to send it off to for postal service, or should I just try as before - find a jewellers and ask what they can do?
(Forgive my ignorance in these matters - I see watches as pretty things to look at and good when they tell the time properly, but I am not really into the whole thing as much as others on here are ... hence the request for advice!)
Oli.
