Tag Heuer Battery Replacement

Do I have to send it back to Tag to have the battery replaced? A few years back when it last died I was told that I had to in order for it to be sealed correctly. Is this not something that a normal jeweler can do in house without having to wait 6 weeks? I do not dive or anything other then a pool now and then with it.

slykmr is an unknown quantity at this point

Its a rip off to take it to the dealer! I took my TAG Golf watch and it was like a $90 battery cause they had to "reseal it." Bought the batteries myself next time and did it myself. All it is is a rubber seal that you need to make sure is seated before you put the back case back on.

How did you pop the back case off? Special tool?

If you want to be really sure, take it to a Tourneau store. They will do it on site and pressure test- for less than TH. However, almost any reputable watch dealer will be able to pressure test.
