Casio Service Centre at 313 Somerset.

But if just changed battery, any watch shop will do unless it's using special battery like those solar type.

You can also drop it off at any Casio boutiques. It will take a little longer though.

Anyone going to the THG sale today? Got what brands on offer update here?

 

[StephenHawking]

what's a nice gold watch to get ah? I actually miss my daydate a bit.
how about the GMT full gold?

You can get a really classy, vastly superior gold Parmigiani for
that kind of money. Do yourself a huge favour and have a look
at the Tonda line.

Thank you all for advising, I will go down to their casio boutiques at Tampines Mall.

Was originally thinking of but decided to give it a miss as I would like to tighten the focus on my collection and there are a couple of high-priced watches, like the IWC Petit Prince PC, that I am eyeing and I believe I can avoid the temptation of picking up pieces at the spur of the moment because they are cheap.

Nevertheless, I already have a good contact in Sincere that gives me pretty good discounts.

Hope I made the right decision!!

I did tried recently but they said they don't do it so refer me to other watch shops and I went to there but they said mine is using the solar type of battery so they don't have it so refer me to their service center.

But at last I did it in a small shop done by an old man. Now my watch very weird, not enough light, the display will not be "ON". I guessed he did not used the correct battery.

I will just drop by and ssll. No intention of buying as I am saving for an AP.

Don't expect much from the sale.

They usually will clear those older model watches and I doubt there is AP, PP and more luxurious brands the last time I went.

Same. I went to those watch repair shops. .. mostly tell me for my protek series... go to casio SC better. Cuz they tell me that they need to remove a special casing in watch before they can change the batt and they don't have the tools to remove it.

Ah. .. solar rechargeable cell batt I think not many watch repair shops will have them.

Btw nice watch

Is this the one? Help u GPGT easier la. To be honest, i think seiko has many dive models that look roughly like that leh. But i guess there may be certain reasons why that specific model for u.

This is odd. I had the same problem with my G-shock Tough Solar last year - around November. I went to the Casio Boutique at Nex and the lady there said need to change a special battery. I then left my watch there for about 4 weeks and when it was ready, they called me and I went back to collect.
