Just kidding, of course. I know nothing about these procedures.
Yes there are a few problems to overcome, finding a good watch maker who will do the job and the price is likely to be more than it's worth and if you do it yourself you have to find the correct movement and be able to remove the stem without damage then remove all the hands and replace them.
Quartz watches are relatively cheap to buy thankfully!
That is a nice watch Neal, I haven't seen one like it before, did the watch maker indicate a price?
