So it seems my Ocean 1 44 Magnum's battery has run down. It kept perfect time until the second hand hung up and just slightly tried to move but couldn't. It now has completely stopped any movement. I took the watch to my local Jared's to have the battery replaced and they said they cannot replace because then the watch would not be water resistant anymore. So they want to Charge $30 to ship it to "their guy" then $15 for the battery, then $99 to make sure its water resistant again. This just sounds a little exorbitant to me for replacing the battery, in fact its more than half of what I paid for the watch. The watch is still under the two year Debaufre warranty but batteries are not covered, which is the only thing I believe at this point is wrong. Any suggestions? I've replaced batteries before in other watches and never had issues with them leaking afterwords but I do not have the correct tool to remove the rear cover and don't want to void any warranty I have left. Thanks
