Probably 10 US dollars

 

For what that would cost, buy yourself a kit and do it yourself. It's pretty easy and will make you appreciate the watch more!

 

I agree with this! I was hesitant to try my first watch too (afraid of scratching the bracelet and everything), but for future practices, it will keep you from having to paying each time, and you will find it's a relatively simple process!

 

Youtube is your friend - there's probably a video to show you if you search for one

 

Does this help?

 

I actually hate the way that guy sized his bracelet! Why would he use the plastic side of hammer on the tool and then metal side when putting pins back in?! Also he took out two attached links separately??? To the OP, buy a $20 Timex and practice

 

I have never had a jeweler/watch seller I have bought from charge me to put or remove a link. Maybe to buy a link, but not to add/remove one. Not even a strap. And a good number of ADs should be willing to do a watch brand they sell for free even if you didn't buy from them.

 

At my shop $17.50 and up, usually $17.50. If we sold it, n/c

 

Without reading other replies I have to say that if someone ask for more than ten dollars they are robbing you. I do almost all my own work aside from complete tear down cleaning everything else is fair game. I have 2 Tag's an Aquaracer and Carrera and can remove or add a link without any damage (that's the key point) in under 5 minutes. So...…………………. If someone needs to putz with the job for 15 minutes I'd be concerned.

 

Unlike a lot of the other watches in this price category, Tag uses a friction/collar system for the links. They can be somewhat difficult to remove, but if you have the proper pin pusher and a small jewelers hammer it is a breeze. I agree, you should invest in a small watch repair kit to include a case opener, a battery cross reference chart, a battery tester, pushers or link tool to remove links, and a set of good jeweler screwdrivers. Then try them and you will find out after some time how easy and fun it is to do it yourself.

 

81 Rupees.

 

10 bucks or so, but look into investing in watch tools.

 

Get a cheap pin-remover tool from eBay and support the Chinese economy.
Seriously, do it yourself.

 

I agree about DIY but if you choose to pay, I'd say under $15 in a large city and under $10 in the hinterlands.

 

I’ve had multiple links removed and replaced usually about $20

 

I've had links added and even had clasps replaced at AD's completely for free. Had a link done at Jared so about as corporate as they come and from a more mom and pop shop which was an AD for about a dozen brands including Rolex, Omega, etc. Never been charged. Even if the watch wasn't a brand they sold.

 

The first time I tried this was on a Seiko. The pin and collar arrangement really wasn't that difficult after watching a couple of YouTube videos.
