SunFan Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 I have a Bulova Precisionist watch with a dead battery. I tried my go-to guy at the Wednesday Tianguis but he didn't have a replacement. Can anyone suggest another local source? TIA SunFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostlylost Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 If yours is the model in this video you need a CR2016 It's a fairly common battery for other uses. Check Walmart or https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-612625726-4-pilas-cr2016-dl2016-cr-2016-ecr2016-_JM#position=1&search_layout=stack&type=item&tracking_id=b8edc996-36e2-4108-a0c7-b0e87d33cf3f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Would Mr. Google be able to help? Could you enter the name of your watch and model and search using Google discover the battery size you need? Then maybe on line you could order them via the internet, or if only available in the US, have a friend bring the battery down or as was just posted by Mostlylost try Wally Mart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TelsZ4 Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Are there 2 or 3 vendors that change batteries at the Wednesday Tianguis ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Cristina Farmacia or try Steren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Steren in Laguna mall or the Panasonic store on the main drag in Chapala or Daniel Jackosn in Ajijic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunFan Posted September 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I've ordered CR2016 batteries and a watch case back removal kit from Mercadolibre. SunFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 Next time you can buy CR2016 batteries at Steren. But good idea to buy the case-opening tool because Steren does NOT have one of those. (Asked yesterday ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdmowers Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 There is a battery store in Chapala on Lopez Cotilla midblock between the Avenue and Juarez on the south side of the street. Little place. They`ve always had batteries for my watches but I don`t know if they have CR2016 batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunFan That cracked me up, as I've had many incidents of "why didn't I do such and such at the time?" If you don't want to wait for your delivery, and wish to get a battery in now. I've had good luck with the little watch place beside the Dildoria, on 16 de Septembre. Edited September 9, 2021 by Whipstock My poor spelling.

Ferret Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 I got my watch battery done at It's Kinda Bazaar and Kinda Not. The gentleman is only there on Wednesdays and he also sharpens knives... kind of a two-fer. Kinda Bazaar is in Riberas and is now located next to El Huerto Cafe. Very convenient for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnMama Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Slight change of topic - any idea where to get a watchband repaired? It is a plastic band and needs one of those little metal pin thingys replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
