I’ve got a Luminox watch and it needs a new battery

everywhere I have been to says that can’t guarantee its going to be waterproof as they don’t have any way of testing it

I already think the seal might be going a bit as on very cold days the inside of the face gets a bit misty

any ideas where to send/take it?

It may be a bit of a trek from New Mills to Derby but there is a jewller on Green Lane (Janet Field I think) that did my Tag Heuer last year, including pressure testing on site, did it next day where as other jewellers where saying it had to be sent away and would be 4 months and cost over £80!!

A lot of debenhams stores have a watch repairer in them who is able to pressure test watches.

When I last had the battery changed in my watch, they pressure-tested it (for a nominal fee of course). It was a generic key-cutting and watch repair place in a shopping centre IIRC, maybe Timpson’s or something. They did it in a little chamber whilst I waited (and watched).

if it fails the pressure test is it then full of water?

Timpsons do it.

Anyone know a really good place to get a Rolex crystal glass replaced? Mrs nickf broke hers and has been quoted £3-500 to get it fixed. Great watch, much loved, but there’s no need for it to cost that much, surely?

All luminox watches mist over slightly on cold days when biking. Mine did it from new.

I replaced my battery and checked the o-ring for damage. I had no issues in the 3 months I had it until it was
Stolen.
