Took a new watch in to the watch lab in Warrington to get a battery fitted. The lady tried to pry the wrong part of the back, gouged up the metal and scored the back badly. She couldn't get the back off. We took the watch home, looked at the back and realised she was prying the wrong part of the watch. Took me 5 minutes to change the battery myself. There was a purpose cut out in the case to show where to pry. My wife even pointed out to her that she had been prying the wrong bit of the watch. The bloke who worked there was good but this woman is totally incompetent, and her excuse was pathetic and no compensation was offered.
