·I'm a pretty competent engineer and have always changed the batteries in my own and families watches, however recently when the battery failed in my wife's Seamaster (2561.80) she told me it needed to go to a specialist to have its battery changed as it was an Omega. I ended up doing it myself for the cost of the battery (99p), it was the same with my step daughters Tissot, local store told her it would cost £53 as it was a Tissot and had to be done by a specialist, again I did it for peanuts.
So my question is, what are specialists doing that I am not? I've heard rumours of pressurised work rooms that ensure the inside of the watch case is at a positive pressure and thus waterproof but with the pressure at 50m being 5bar I can't see that as being 100% true.
What do people think?
