How do you replace the battery in a pocket watch?
Question:
I have 4 pocket watches; 3 of which are Quartz. The other one is just a novelty toy.
Anyway, I've heard that Quartz watches aren't that old, so they use batteries. How do you replace this battery? If you take the back off, how do you do it?
Answer: You can take it to the local watch repair center. They should charge about $10 to replace the battery. If you don't replace it the battery might leak so it's important to replace it fast.

I'm looking for information about a colibri pocket watch I was given?
This pocket watch was given to me by my grandfather.
It has a white face(or dial?) that reads "colibri" "quarts" "swiss made" it has a small image of a train just below the name colibri. On the back of the watch is an engraved(I think) picture of an old steam locomotive that is bellowing smoke. This watch was not made with a hinge or cover from what I can see. It doesn't work nor does it wind up, but if I pull the knob I can set the time, so I think it must use a battery. I doubt this watch is made of gold, so I would guess it's bass, but I don't know. Any information would be helpful, I've looked all over the web and found no pictures of this watch.
