Watch Battery Replacement

If your watch has stopped ticking, a new battery may be all it needs. At David’s Jewelry & Coin Exchange, we keep batteries of all sizes in stock and offer battery replacement for most watches. Many standard replacements can be completed while you wait, depending on the watch and how busy the store is.

We will check your watch and confirm the price and expected timing before getting started. Battery replacement prices depend on the type of case:

  • Pop off back: $15
  • Screw back case: $20
  • Four screw case: $30

Specialized Watch Repair

If your watch is not keeping time or needs other attention, bring it in for an assessment. We work with a watchmaker on specialized repairs for brands including Rolex, Cartier, Breitling and TAG Heuer. The available service depends on the watch and its condition.

  • Cleaning, oiling, and adjustments
  • Crystal polishing to address scratches
  • Crown and crystal replacement
  • Dial refinishing
  • Movement replacement
  • Case and band polishing

Timing depends on the repair, parts availability, and the watchmaker’s queue. Ask about the current estimate when you bring your watch in.

Watch Band Adjustment

Our in house jeweler can remove links to tighten a watch band or add links you provide to lengthen it. Band adjustments cost $10 and can often be completed while you wait, depending on the watch and our workload.

Questions About Watch Service

Can I wait while you replace my battery?

Many standard battery replacements and band adjustments can be completed while you wait. It depends on the watch and our workload. More involved repairs require an assessment before we can give you a time estimate.

What should I bring?

Bring your watch and any extra links if you want the band made larger. Service records and a description of the problem are helpful when discussing a repair.
