Important battery changing video
If anyone here has a Rolex quartz or TagHeuer this video is essential for changing the battery yourself.

*warning - this video may not be suitable for everyone; watch at your own risk.

May not be work appropriate, but, it certainly had its points.

I don't currently own a watch that needs a battery, but I watched the video a couple times incase I get one.
