six car garage -- I envy you ::psy::

When it's time to downsize that though, it will be a different story. But as for right now? Enjoy the heck out of it for as many years as you can.

Agreed, it’s a bit of a pity.

I understand prices for watchmaker services may vary in different markets and the one you’re in is clearly different from mine. If I had suspected remotely that cost would have been involved I simply would not have purchased and I think people should be informed if such an expense is on the horizon.
I agree with your sentiment that there should be no reason to return said watch to the factory for a battery change. That’s a lot to ask.

Don't they sell a tool for this?

I wouldn't use the cheap chinese version from amazon as all the reviews tend to say the blades are garbage, but a quality horotec or bergeon should be reliable.



It's actually a bezel remover being used to store a watch 😉.
To remove the bezel the watch would actually be face down on the blades (sans bracelet).
Depending on the curvature of the lugs and blade clearances, that style could be used to pop the caseback though.

Never trust those amazon pics! 😁
