Watch battery replacement & wrist band repair

01/08/2026

I just wanted to share an interesting find. This is a Chickamauga battlefield watch. These kinds of watches are often custom made and sold as merch to national parks or resorts. This particular one was likely purchased from a tourist attraction near the historical location of Chickamauga battlefield. Feel free to share your own cool finds in the comments below!

Budget watches are actually pretty awesome! You can get into a watch with a well decorated dial for very cheap. The chronograph is only for show, but it is awesome for something fun to wear.That said, you might look at other options if you want the extra dials that work.


Below is a black watch and a grey bezel watch with a woodgrain dial. Both are very cool pieces and woodgrain is very difficult to find on a watch. A cool option for a budget minded person.

As always these are currently for sale if you happen to be interested.

It's not uncommon to have a watch that feels loose or a bit too tight. In particular stainless steel wrist bands/bracelets are a prime suspect for this problem. The good news is that many times you can adjust the size of the band by removing or adding links! You can almost always remove links for a tighter fit, but it is worth noting that you may need to source extra links if it needs to be looser.

Some high end watches include extra links so you can adjust if needed, so be sure to check your box if you have one. Thanks for stopping by and reading!

It's amazing how a beat up watch will run with only a little work!
Usually all it takes is a battery and some cleaning to get you going.

This watch is a realistic example of what to expect with a simple cleaning/polishing and battery replacement! Blemishes are present, but it's so much prettier now.

If you are interested in this specific watch it is currently listed on eBay

Let me know if you have any questions about it or a service for your own watch!

Some watches are passed down and others are collected. Some that are collected are both new and used. This watch in particular is something of both. It was likely worn/collected by a previous owner till it stopped working. Unfortunately he had passed before getting it back into service and it was sold online where I found it and a few others in a bundle.

This one will probably hang with me for a long time!

I am quickly acquiring equipment to do full service and repairs.

In the meantime, if you have a watch with a stuck on back or water tight battery compartment, then I've got you covered.
Leather band falling apart?
Got that too.
Loose and annoying metal band?
Yup! We can adjust that!

Every watch is carefully cleaned externaly and plastic/acrylic crystals are gently polished.

Sometimes a watch band will get worn and break. The loop will fall apart or the band will fall off the shaft on the watch case(spring bar). In either case you can repair the watch by sewing a new loop onto the band or replacing the watch band all together! The picture below shows a basic loop replacement using real leather. If color is of concern you can opt to have it custom color matched to the band.

Thanks for your time!
