Hi all

A friend of mine wants to get his wife a 28mm Quartz Royal Oak. It won’t be new, in fact, by all accounts, the view is the older the better.

Is there anything he needs to know / look out for?

Cheers

My friends wife has a 36mm gold quartz AP, it looks great on her. I might be wrong but I think I’ve heard that replacing the battery can be quite expensive due to where it’s located inside the watch.

I found a topic from 2004 where someone wrote he replaced the battery himself but others, as you can see, write that it's tricky and not that easy.

Read Submarino’s sticky at the top of the page 🤞 He knows his stuff.
