mcdevito75 here, Battery usually lasts 1 year and longer, even if you did change the battery yourself now, you"d forget for a year or even longer next time battery needeed to be changed, I know I did. Add to this you can easily destroy your watch with in-correct handleing. BEST BET, look for a small watch repair shop in your area for this battery change $10--$15.00 and peace of mind.
Thank you for contacting FixYa.
First of all, unless it is stamped or it is in the manual, I cant tell you what size battery, nor can a watchmaker unless they take measurements of the watch area.
You have a nice watch. My BEST advice is to take to an authorized Geneve watch dealer or to send direct to them (contact them first). http://www.raymond-weil.com/EN/Swiss-Watch-Company/After-Sale-Service.html
mcdevito75 here, I can remember a good, good while ago,--------------Rolex does not make a quartz watch. ------------ Geneve is a good watch though. Chances are your watch is just a Geneve and not a Rolex Geneve or just plain Rolex.
mcdevito75 here, any Geneve watch is very good, from the little I know and without seeing the watch, note the hands carefully, if they are thick the watch could be from the 60"s or before. If the hands are thin then the age of the watch could be from the 70"s, the Geneve name though is very good, they also have Geneva name but Geneve is the name to look for. Also a jeweler can give an approx. age.------- Thick hands, 60"s or before, ------- thin hands, 70"s and after.
Of course, there is the way to change the battery, but for this you have to visit your closest watch repair shop. I do mean WATCH REPAIRS, not the jewellers. Decent watchmaker will definitely open your watch and will replace the battery. Your watch's case appears to be a monoblock. That means you'll need to lift the crystal first, pull the stem second and just then you'll be able to extract watch's movement for replacing battery. Do not forget: jewellers and watchmakers are under one roof, but their trades are completely different. No jeweller can do watchmakers job and vice versa. Rate me, plz.
It may be not a solution. The thing had done as below:
I replaced at home by myself, but it didn't work. I brought it to a watch repair store at Paramus. The technician replaced its battery but it didn't work. He said that the watch was out of order and need to repair. It will take one week. I left it to him and I am waiting for the result.
