Wristwatch collectors out there?

[MurphysLaw]

Bad news today, I sent my Tag Heuer F1 Chrono in for a battery change, turns out the movement needs to be replaced. They want more than I paid for the watch, so I'm just having them send it back and I'll try to get a second opinion.

Ouch. What's are issues with it?

Oil dried up and seized the movement I think, probably due to the case not being properly sealed after the last battery change (done at the same place) but I'm sure there's no way I can prove it to where they'll make it right.
