My Seiko needed one of those permanent batteries. Stopped by The Watchman (Don Laughlin"s Riverside), and he had one and had it installed in 45 minutes. Normally, you have to send those type Seiko watches back to the factory, pay over $100 and it takes almost 6 months. And, that was three years ago -- as the stainless steel beauty takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Highly recommend as the writeup on this guy is "he can fix any watch in the world!" Oh, his price was half the factory price and guaranteed for three years.
How can a fellow beat that deal.
