I have an old Rotary watch that has been dropped and has stopped working. I took it to a jewellers who wanted a RANSOM just to inspectit, never mind repair it!! I'm fairly mechanically inclined, so I thought if I could remove the Back of the watch, it may just be a question of replacing/resiting the battery. Anyone got any idea how to remove the back? It's a water resistant model GB00849/3(11184).

Hi,
FIRST is it a screw back (with slots on the back case).
If so use a small screwdriver to move the case.
If not poss. then get a case removal tool for screw back cases.

If it has no slots then look for gaps in the case. Use a mag glass, then insert a small screwdriver and twist, if not move get a case removal

Hope this help's.
