Hi guys

I've got one of my late fathers eco drives needing a new cell in it as its not working.

Has anyone used these guys: https://www.thewatchbench.co.uk/

They are coming up quite cheap for the service and polish. About late £60s as opposed to nearly double that at the citizen service centre.

Cheers
Jim

I changed my ecodrive cell when it died after 10 years.

It was a bit more involved than changing a battery but not much.

There was a comprehensive you tube video I watched.

No idea how helpful that is.

Thank you! I have a Seiko Kinetic which needs the cell changing too. I've ordered myself a watch repair kit and will attempt a few quartz battery changes with the aid of youtube and see how I go. I'd like to learn myself anyway and now seems as good time as any!

Have a good Christmas smile
