Open the back of the watch, the battery is stamped with a number.

On my Swiss Army watch there are notches on the back cover plate. They guy at the jewelry store has a fancy little wrench that fits in there. I've done it with a pair of needle nose pliers. Open the pliers, fit the ends in two of the notches oposite each other and turn. The cover will unscrew and the battery is there....

This doesn't work well. Perhaps the needle nose pliers are a particular brand of length. I own seven different pair of needle nose pliers and only one could reach the notches. Once you reach the notches the tip of the plier will not stay in the notch once presure is applied. All you will end up with is a scratched watch case. Take it an authorized dealer or other business that has the right tool to open the case. It's not worth ruining an expensive watch just to save a couple of dollars to change the battery.

Addendum by John Michael Shaw....

Go to a art supply store and get an adjustable drawing compass that has two metal points. Use a magnifying glass and a good light to see what your doing. Place each point of the compass at opposite groove marks on the back of the watch. Make sure to have the watch on a soft, firm, gripping type of surface... something rubbery to keep it from turning as you hold it. Press the compass firmly and try to rotate it SLOWLY counterclockwise. Be carefull and use the light and magnifier to see if your turning it or just scratching the watch. If it doesn't want to cooperate pay the bucks and have a jewelry shop do it.

Buy the fancy little wrench on eBay for $11 (including shipping!) from Hong Kong. Works great on all the different notched screw on backs. Change your own batteries and save big bucks and don't ruin your watch case with sharp tools. Search eBay for "Watch Case Wrench".

Addendum

Use two thumbtacks. This works well because I just did it! My Swiss watch (Swiss Military--The Genuine) has six notches on the back face. I took two thumbtacks (the kind with be big coloured plastic ends to hold) and pushed counterclockwise. You can either get someone to hold the watch so it doesn't just spin around, or position your hand so that that stops it from turning.

Be careful not to jab yourself because you have to push very hard with the tacks and if they slipped, they'd go all the way in your hand. Ouch! It does take quite a bit of torque, but it gives. Then I just lifted off the white plastic protector inside and pried the battery out with one of the tacks. Mine had a Maxell SR726SW battery inside. The internet says they're worth $1-2. I'm sure I'll pay ten at the drugstore.

DIY for life!

Addendum

The o-ring also needs to be inspected and possibly replaced to make sure it is water-resistant. The service centers you vacuum and pressure tests to make sure it is correctly sealed. You may save the money by doing it yourself but you also run the risk of not having it seal correctly and thus leaking.

ADDENDUM: I used a pair of scissors with pointy tips and it was really easy to open.

Old Bulova watches does not have any worth because they are old so there is no need to find out how they are worth.

The m3 on your Bulova watch does not mean anything and it is worth $50.
