Everybody's an expert 🤣

My mother recently asked me to change the battery on her vintage quartz

Image

Piece of cake. It even used the exact same size battery as my Citizen and Bulova, of which I have a bunch from the $5 12 pack. The problem is finding the lug width as I don't own a caliper.

I found the exact watch on ebay. I messaged the seller to ask what is the lug width so I could find my mother a strap for her now working watch.

This happened within the last half an hour

I swear, this generation is so emotionally soft. Pathetic 🤣

Anyway, if any of you know how I could get said measurement I would be truly grateful 🙏🏾

Bro just take it in to your local jeweler or watch boutique. They'll hook you up.

If you did have calipers the prongs would take the measurements from inside edge to inside edge of the lug width. That's the measurements you would use to determine the straps you need. I do see were you got the 12mm measurements brotha. Stay blessed 🙏🏽

I used the Vernier Caliper app before I finally picked up a digital one.

Why do you need the lug width to change a battery?

I changed the battery with no trouble. I am also searching for a replacement strap so my mom can actually wear her now working watch

Your tape measure measurement seems to indicate it's 13mm.

Wow! Not much I can say but Wow! I'm just glad I'm not the only one who questions the intelligence, both logical and emotional, of the younger generation.

Moral of this story is to get your own caliper! Lol they dont cost much!
