Any decent places to get a luminox battery changed that aren't cheesey places in the mall or fancy places downtown or on magazine? Thanks

what's wrong with a cheezy place in the mall? I think there is a guy in Clearview that does this. It's a luminox , i'm sure he has done plenty.

I always went to the Watch and Clock shop on Gravier. Drop the watch off, walk next door to The Store for lunch, come back and pick up watch.

It's a battery change. It isn't like you are getting work done on a mechanical movement. Any place will be as good as the next. It doesn't take a high level of skill. You just need to have the tool to open it up.

You are being way too particular about where to take a watch battery to be changed.

Hyme Tyme on Metairie Rd just over the railroad tracks. Great shop and great service.

Had mine changed at the little jewelry store on Oak next to Haase's.

I've got a few done at Aucoin Hart. They usually don't charge anything and just say "be sure to come back". The watches were not purchased there either.

Aucoin Hart did mine for free, but I got my other watch serviced there a couple of months before

Dude on Airline just past David Dr., heading towards Kenner. On the right hand side in a little strip mall. He usually has a Camaro or something similar out front emblazoned with his logo. Good guy.

Do it yourself! It's beyond simple. Google your make and model and battery replacement. Then purchase said battery. Then search "how to replace watch battery" on YouTube and watch one of the many vids. You don't need special tools either.
