Question
QUESTION: Hi,
If you pull the pin on a watch to save battery life, will it damage the time piece? Please advice.
Thanks!

ANSWER: I am sorry, I do not respond to inquiries Involving non-mechanical horological questions.  During my time of training such things did not exist and I simply ignored them and never attempted to repair one.  I simply repaced the motors, the new movements cost the owners much less than my time.  Regards WJP

Thanks.

Answer
I answered your question as fully as I could.  I can't give solutions about something I know nothing of.  Yes there are other
volunteers with all experts that can sure address your problem.  Simply read the profiles for each expert listed under the subject clock and watches and pick someone that expresses knowledge in your subject matter.  My profile clearly indicates that I do not have any knowledge with repect to non-mechanical horological pieces.  I truely wish you success.  Regards WJP
