Will it have to go back to Seiko Japan to have the battery changed to guarantee the WR of 100metres?

On the subject of 9F battery changes, my GS has just started to do the 2-step :D

Since I don't submerge it in water, I'll be a very careful boy and change it myself.
Will post some pics for anyone interested.

As has been stated above, it's a relatively simple and straightforward task.

Little tip.........leave off the boxing gloves while you're working at it :lol: :lol:
