£10?! Not sure about those prices for Timpsons in London. £25 for a lifetime battery offer. £100+ to fit a Breitling battery (they wanted to send it off).
The prices do vary from branch to branch, was quoted up to £24 for the lifetime battery offer but went for the low cost option as the Renata battery tends to last at least 3 years in the Rotary & Mondaine. Mine was fitted at the Beaconsfield branch, other more expensive branches are available in the Bucks area biggrin both are ticking away nicely and keeping good time.

My new timex expedition has no indigo ( seller refunded the whole purchase price and told me to bin it!). , I fitted a new battery, but it made no difference, in order to get the case back to re seal I actually put it on a rug and stood on it with my socked heel, it ‘popped’ back on, it seems there is no real way to fix the indigo.
