Is it only the screws keeping you from changing this one yourself or any other concern around it?

I reckon the gasket is the only tricky part- but I look forward to the photos. My guess: it's either perfectly straight forward or mind-numbingly complicated 馃槈
Well, the warning indicator seems to have gone off for now... maybe it's because the weather has turned warmer?
but I'm 95% sure the battery in the watch is the old one
Always like to see people doing their own work!
One thing I've never confirmed to myself... how many times can you take the back off a watch without changing the rubber gasket/seal and still maintain the waterproofing? IE how long do the seals last?
I assume it's more than once or twice, because I often see watches for sale with photos of the back off, and I'm assuming that the seller hasn't replaced the seal (unless it's specifically mentioned in the spiel that the watch was serviced).
but when they do perish will TAG have any spares
Ask for the price and order spares now? Put them in vacuum packaging placed in darkness and suitable temperature to keep them mega fresh
Edit: while you are at it, order crown for your H01 as well, it has rubber also right?
The rubber seals will degrade over time. As soon as they start to show signs of perishing, e.g. cracks, or loss of "springiness", then they should be replaced. I'm sure one in good condition can be re-used, but I'm equally sure there are some people who would recommend replacing them every time the watch is opened as a matter of course.
Yeah, I'm sure you're right... are seals readily available?
