BATTERY CHANGE


Recommended Posts

Anyone out there know how to change battery on a QUINTING FABRIQUE  EN  SUISSE ?  The battery compartment is in outer said of back case, as I began to remove battery I could see what looks like a clear gasket but not sure has any one have experience with this watch?

  Thanks

I remember looking at these quite a few years ago they where and still are incredibly expensive watches  I think the watch contains 2 batterys or some of the movement photos I have seen show two and changing requires partial dismantling of the movement in some cases, its is a incredibly complicated movement I would not even think of replacing a battery on one myself so to answer your question take it to a authorised service agent and let them do it these retail at about £15,000 new and £7,000 secondhand why risk it if a battery change is £200.00 I would say money well spent on a watch like this,

Poor video quality but it gives you a idea of the movement

Not something I've seen or heard about before. I routinely work on 4 figure watches but this is really something else, don't think I'd have even considered trying.

I will say it's a very interesting piece and just as a technician, on both a personal and professional level I'd love to be able to do...anything at all with this. My curiosity is peaked. But for better or for worse the cautious voice in me is the louder one, and it agrees with WLS.

I have done some research and these watches are high end and seem complex in construction.
I would not change the battery or use any other repairer other than the manufacturer or a specialist. In my opinion it's not worth  the risk.
