Sheesh. So I sent it off to the manufacturer's repair shop in Rhode Island, and the estimate came back for close to $100. To replace a watch battery. That probably wholesaled for $3.00. The actual price turned out to be $96 and it took a month. http://tinyurl.com/ma8t2ju Given the amount of diving you do from that new twin-engine, diesel-powered, Volvo driven slow trawler you've 'got', you could have simply replaced the battery for $15. Could have bought a new digital watch for $5. |
