Quick Answer

How to Replace the Battery in a Rolex Oysterquartz 36mm Steel Gold Blue Dial
Replacing the battery in your Rolex (36mm, Steel) requires carefully inspecting the case back. Most quartz dress and sport models utilize either a snap-on back or a multi-notched screw-down case. Using an appropriate watchmaker case wrench or pry knife prevents slipping and scratching the Steel finish. Avoid touching the new battery surfaces directly with your fingers, as skin oils can reduce conductivity.
