As the title says really chaps, i have some divers watches that all seem to have stopped working within a couple weeks of each other. I'm guessing it is a battery issue rather than anything else, so i would like to get the battries changed, but the problem is that i would like to maintain the water resistivity of the watches (claimed to be 200m). Now don't get me wrong, i am not a deep sea diver and prob the most amount of water my watches will ever see is in the pool or shower, non the less i would still like them to be/remain waterproof.

So PH, please help, does anyone know anybody that can provide such a service? (ie "battery change and re-waterproofing") smile


many thanks in advance

^^ Hi Bry! thank you for your reply, (i have been meaning to have a word with you actually about pvding a very special watch that i am on the look out for!! it is a 1979 "birthyear" seiko auto 007). i have an 1980 one, but am specifically looking for a 1979 smile




anyway, back to my original question: two of the watches are Tauchmeisters, the other is an aeromatic. now i appreciate they are not to everyone's taste but they were affordable and pretty much the first 3 watches i bought last year when i got back into the whole watch thing.....and tbh, they don't even get worn very often, but would like them to work when and if i wanted to wear them.






more recently i bought another classic seiko, this time a sports chrono, and unfortunately, whilst trying to set the time/date i seem to broken something, hence the internal bezel has stopped working! i would love to get thhis one fixed if anyone knows somebody local?


cheers Jam,



sorry for rambling on like, smile

If the sports chrono is a 6138 they usually have the internal bezel cog on the winding stem doesn't take much to break them.

1979-1980 that's Seiko 6309/7548 era!
