A little central but Watch Service UK on Fleet Street seem to have a good rep? Website says £40 for an Omega quartz battery replacement and should be a damn sight quicker than 2 weeks.
Ninja edit: lovely watch btw!

Attached? How?
It definitely shouldn’t be.
Maybe the battery has leaked and corroded the case back?

@J0nathan
Any recommendations for a trusted watchmaker in East London that will fit a battery? I just built up the courage to open this and the caseback is actually attached to the movement/watch face. I’m not inclined to try and work out how to pry them apart.
I took it to Omega and they wanted about 80 quid and two weeks to do it, so they can fuck off. Is Alsal the only place? I’m not taking it to Timsons or anywhere like that because if anything happens to it I will kill every person on this train (10 points to anyone who gets that reference).
