First, let me say this, you should always use case presses to put the back cover onto a watch. This will help eliminate any chance of causing damage, and ruining your watch, or worse yet, a customer’s watch.
Case presses are designed to put pressure along the outer parameter of the case back, and on the front side of a watch, you would use a press disc that pushes against the frame of the watch, not the glass.
Once you squeeze the press down gently, even with a Skagen watch, you will hear that wonderful snap of the cases going back together, and sealing tightly.
Case Presses are not necessary for watches that have screw-off case backs, but in this case, Skagen only makes very few models with Screw off case backs… Keep that in mind.
If you want to do this yourself on your Skagen, I don’t advise it. Call around to a jeweler and ask if they either are a Skagen Dealer or have experience with changing batteries without issue. If you call a good jeweler, like me, you will be told that they don’t recommend you doing that yourself, the reason why, and ask you to come it to help you.
Now, if you have had a problem with your watch, and some idiot destroyed the back cover or worse, tell them that you either want them to pay to have it repaired, or to have it replaced. Stick to your guns. As a jeweler myself, it is our responsibility to our customers to take care of their precious items.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and watch the video. If you have any questions, leave a comment or ask, and I’ll be happy to respond!
Thanks
Hello I was just wondering if it would be at all possible to have you change the battery in a skagen watch of mine?? I could mail it to you or however you do it… thanks a bunch nick.
I’m sure that you would be better able to find a good jeweler then sending me a watch for a battery change, however, I’m setting up a new location for out of state mailing… It will be about one more month before I take any shipments…
