Hi. I have a DKNY watch NY4791. How do I remove the back to change the battery. Does it require a special tool that only a jeweler or watch repair would have? Thanks. -Susan.

Hi Susan, most Watches will require a tool to remove the back, some use a knife like tool, and some use an adjustable key type tool to fit the slots of the watch cover, so that you can unscrew the back off. Sometimes you can use a thin knife too, be very careful not to cut yourself, and also not to damage the rubber gasket. The gasket sometimes will need replacement on some watches if they are waterproof. I recommend having a watch expert look at it if you feel you can't do this yourself.
Also the tools are available on eBay. I hope this helps you. Joe

Not sure if you want to attempt this yourself, and advice above to go to a jeweler is excellent, and I marked it Helpful.

Hi. Can You replace a Crystal for DKNY ladys watch model NY-4609 Thank You.

It is probably replaceable. Try to locate a watch repair shop or and jeweler who repairs watches. If they don't have one, then contact DKNY directly.

Is a special tool required to reinstall the back after replacing the battery.

mcdevito75 here, Not really, but it depends on the maker of your watch, if the back prys off then it simply snaps back on, if there are screws holding the back on you"ll nedd Jewelers screwdrivers, if there are square holes around the back you"ll need a special tool to unscrew the back. Best Bet, have a small watch repair shop change your battery.

How do you open back to change battery?

Swiss Army watches require a special tool. You will need to call your local jewelers and ask if they do Swiss Army watches as not every jeweler has the tool to do it.
Good luck

How do i remove the back on my sekonda mens watch

mcdevito75 here, Generally thr back is simply pryed off useing a sharp knife (steak) or with a case opener, or at times the back is screwed on, little square holes around the back of the watch require a special tool, or there may be 4 screws holding down the back to the case, even if you get the back off you may need Jewelers screwdrivers to remove / replace the battery. BEST BET, look for a small watch repair shop in your area.

Hi, I have a few baguettes missing from my DKNY watch...how do I have them replaced? The watch is only 6 months since purchase. The number on back is 110709. Ta

First I would bring the problem to the attention of DKNY so they are aware of the problem, see if the missing stones are covered by any warranties or policies of DKNY. If they are not a reputable jeweler in your area should be able to match them at your expense. I Hope that DKNY sands behind this watch and repairs it to your satisfaction.
Good Luck To You!!
