Cartier Tank new battery and strap

[nofuse22]

I put my wife' Cartier tank into a local jeweller for a new battery. Rather inevitably they have come back saying I need a complete service for £225..

The watch is only 2 years old so seems a bit excessive.

They also said that I need a new strap @ 185.

Am I being ripped off? Any suggestions for alternative jewellers in London?

Sounds about right for a Cartier service, they're a bloody rip off.

If you don't want the strap replacing don't do it - they can't enforce that it's done as part of the service.
