Battery replacement Tag

The battery has died on my Tag Chrono 2000 so needs replacing. Any recommendations ? I have used TCA watch repairs in the past but always open to new suggestions.

I got peed off with the prices jewelers charge for battery replacements so now do my own. It's not difficult: get a watch back removal tool, unscrew the back and changing the battery is easy and cheap.

It needs to be pressure tested otherwise you could.

Ah yes, bit more involved then. I got peed off when they charge something like £70 for a £2 battery change.

If TCA is the official TAG Service Centre, then yes I can confirm it's an excellent service but it takes 4 weeks !!!
