Anybody out there have the Rotary two time zone reversible dial? The one that flips open from the cradle and swivels around to reveal a separate dial? It's time to change the battery and I don't have a clue. The Rotary instructions that came with the watch (got it from SWI) don't explain the process and I could not find instructions on the Rotary web site either. Any help or directions much appreciated!!

Could you post a pic? I'm not familiar with the case although I have seen them at Sam's Clubhand6.gif I would think it pops open between the cases somewhere ...not sure if 1 battery powers both dials?watch2.gif Maybe OldeCrow or Avery has some experience with these:cool:. edit: I see in the pic on the site Skip posted that there are 2 screws on the top of the case...I would unscrew those and see if the movement slides out:)

Skip & Oscar: Thanks guys!! I will try the screws on the case when I get home. That is the correct picture of the watch (Revelation). I knew 3T would come through again. smile8.gif

Those aren't screws, they're the spring loaded studs that snap the case into place and hold it from flopping open. I think each of the movements comes out seperately thru the front of the case-- they each must have a split stem to remove the stem & crown first.

Guess I will try a local jeweler and see if he knows how to change the battery. Look at this response from SWI: Due to the complication of changing the battery on this watch and warranty issues we cannot give out the information on how to change the battery.

Now that is what I call a pain in the butt battery changing process. Something that should take no more than 5 minutes to do they want you to be without your watch for weeks or months. Shoot I'd expect them to pay me. LOL :D ;)
