A chap at work asked me to change the battery in his wifes watch that had been dead in a drawer for some years.
The press back was easy to remove with a case knife, but whoever had been in there before obviously used the wrong tool
and not only had they marked the case, but I'm certain they damaged the coil at the same time
you can just make out the wire (bent towards the right) that should be attached at the left.
So, has anyone had any success fixing a coil wire that has been snapped at the point it would normally attach?
The only thing I can think of involves a soldering iron but I'm not sure if the heat will melt the wire?
