It took me hours to remove the screws on mine due to not having the right size screw driver; I also need to use WD40; replacing the battery was quick though. However, I lost one of the screws afterward and I am still in the process to acquire one, otherwise, I risk causing corrosion to the internal watch movement, etc..

Hi, can you give me suggestion on cross head screwdrivers for Casio watches (g shock) I see there is a few options, are they Philips or JIS screw head's? Which one do you use? Thanks in advance

They are Philips. at my own bench I have 4 sizes which works great. 1.2mm, 1.5mm (pretty sure the ones I use on G-shock), 2.0mm, and 2.5mm (hardly ever use the 2.5mm). I hope that helps!!! Actually thinking about doing a video real soon just on screw drivers!

#1. thanks sooo much for watching my vidoes! really means a lot! #2. the philips ones I have are just generic (actually have a generic screw driver set which includes some phillips hitting by website soon), otherwise I use Horotec almost exclusively. But I have several "sets", some generic for "mucking around" and a simple Hototec set for precision work, and a "super set" of Horotec in a rotating base with 12 sizes from 0.50mm up to 3.00mm for restoration and movement work. Oh and a set of three drivers with torque rings installed for bracelet screws like Rolex which have a thread locker applied. Like most things watches its a rabbit hole! lol

correct battery is 315 and not 362

You may be right, both batteries are 7.9mm and I did not pull the spec on this movement and didn't record it so I can't go back and check. It did have a 362 in it at the time. Did you pull the spec on this movement (if you know what it is?). The trouble with a 315 is the depth when the battery is held with a side spring. The 315 is only 1.6mm thick so it would work, but could possibly pull away from the bottom contact making it reliability an issue as the battery could shift during wear and make intermittent contact with the lower contact prong. The 362 is 2.1mm thick and sat flush with the top of the movement itself, if it was incorrect it would have stuck out, raising alarm bells. Also, if it was not the correct thickness, with the error being too thick as you propose then it would have put pressure on the movement and would likely jam the hour wheel against the underside of dial, causing the watch to lose time or not work at all. In the absence of the movement spec sheet I stand behind the 362 for this model... But am willing to be corrected if other data is present! We are all human and make mistakes! Cheers, Colin

My Santos was send to Cartier for a battery replacement a few years back, but this time I decided to replace it myself. The battery was an SR721SW/362.

I have to give you thumbs down because you did not lubricate the case back gasket.

Fair point! It is likely that I did lubricate it, just didn't capture it on camera... But to be honest for this video I don't remember.
