Default ? about Cartier watch servicing
Do you know how much it costs to send your Cartier watch in for a battery change? I assume it has to go to the company, not done at a local jewelry store.

It's really expensive, actually. In my experience, they also want to "service" the watch, and it's been at least $300 each time I've done it. I love my watch, but I think this is a serious service flaw.

That does seem typical for a luxury line of watches. It's like a car- the initial purchase price is the least of your worries!
Thanks.

Just to get the battery changed was around $50 for me but last time i had it serviced as well and that was $350 and totally worth it. I swear it was like a new watch when I got it back. It was all polished and sooooo super shiny. i loved it!!!!

I just had mine done last month and I must agree the servicing was worth it! but as far as I know, to change the battery costs 55 dollars..
