Any decent watchmaker can change battery.

40 seems fair, 60 is too high imho. i'd push back as do many neighbors' quartz watches for $10... tho i don't wp test.

BTW, looks like Cartier also polishes / restores aesthetics, so 190 for a new battery, new gasket(s), and like-new polish / etc is reasonable.
