if it is a decent watch, then yes - it will have a seal.

This is one of the things that stops it from steaming up on the inside.

Have you considered just trying a different jewllers?

Do you have a market nearby? There's usually a stall that does them for peanuts.

some are fitted on with a small press, my m8 has one when you take the back off you hear a little pop like it has been vaccum sealed, and when you try to put the back on again it is very tight so they use this little press.

any decent market stall that does watch repairs or fits batteries should sort you out.

would not pay more than a fiver.

my newphew just up from london 2 weeks ago needed new battery
for his gucci ,i was going to do but i was at the silverburn centre so
decided just to put it in jewlers £6.00.for new battery.

the problem was as rabp said, they had to use clamp to put back on
and they broke the glass(glad i never attempted it now)
they sent watch away to get fixed free of charge and i never paid for battery(should think so as they broke it)
anyway it was scratched ,so he got new face out of it,
so stick it in shop m8

agreed mate. You could probably do it yourself, the thing about the £40 battery is probably is con. bet the same battery is available in a set of batteries that you can pick up from the pound shop.
