Where are you buying them from ?

Hi, One I got from Asda (UK), another I got from Wilkinsons - well
known brand - the other 2 I think from watch repair shops. That
said, all the time I'd been looking for Maxell. Certainly, this
time I'm not going to be fobbed off with "this is the best on the
market" ****e. I'll search high and low till I find Maxell, after
all, that was fitted as original.

Thanks

Martin
