most mass manfactured watches like the ones from disney,fossil are considered a
"throw away" by watch repair shops and Jewelery stores they don't want to take the time to see if they can fix them as most of the crystals cost them 10 dollars up and if you figure the watch is only worth 40 bucks by the time they charge you labor etc you will have as much in a crystal for the watch, as the watch cost. which pluto watch was it, if it was made in the last 20 years or so its going to be a battery operated japanese movement inside so opening it up won't do you much good. I'm not a watch expert but in My dealings with the Batman watches in my collection now at over 300+ watches I have found a few that I bought to fix up and BAM! ZONK! POW! no jewlery store wants to touch them same way with any Timex,citizens,bullova most places don't want to touch one that they cant make a good bit off of in repair costs. I have a rare ceramic batman clock from Japan that was made in 89 that is not battery operated and took it in to be checked and the guy was like this is not a REAL clock I only repair Real clocks. It's prob not the fact that they can't do it, it's that they don't want to do it.
Just my batty2cents as always
