Quick Video to go over this screw down case back remover that I have found can remove even the most stubbornly tight case backs without scratching your watch like hand tools tend to do. www.ebay.com/i... www.amazon.com...
thanks for the video.. I don't think I'd do as you say at 4:14 though. I'd start screwing the case back on with my fingers but not with the tool.. if it crosses the thread you won't 'feel' it very well with the large handle at the top. I remember seeing engineers taking various threaded items off with power tools and then putting them back on with the same tool without hand starting them first by hand. For the amount of expense for the error and cussing that followed it was not worth the few seconds of their time. Thanks again for taking the time to demo the tool
Just gone and got one - thanks for the video - I have all the other types you show and managed to scratch my watch backs - but no more thanks to you and this video/ Tool - I did look for this type of tool but found the expensive ones over 1000, but this ones seems to be what I need - thanks again...
picked one up - thanks for the review- some of the insert pcs need to be trued up a bit to sit snuggly into their holders - and i also cant quite figure out how to adjust the spacing on the two pusher holders - but all in all for the price - im impressed - mine came with the rolex dies and them seem to work well
That's cool. Yeah, wish this had come with some instruction booklet. Later I learned it is better to use the dies that fit in-between the lugs in order to minimize possible damage to the case exterior. This opener has been serving me well 👍
Not having any luck with two point or three point case back removers. Thanks for the tip. EBay would add $80 shipping to the $102, so I went with Amazon. I'm a Prime member so shipping was free. Anyway, I should be set within a week. So thanks!
An exact copy of the Bergeon 5700. That one is $900, the thing is it is the real thing. The Swiss machine and tool making is top notch, but then again, it can easily exceed the cost of any Seiko collection 😄
As someone that hasn't opened a caseback, is it possible to cover the caseback with a thin piece of fabric/plastic to prevent scratches or does it cause slipping? I can imagine it being easier on some casebacks with deeper grooves.
Do you mean the 3 prong wrench? www.amazon.com/Watch-Repair-Adjustable-Replacement-Stainless/dp/B01LZXNF4E/ref=sr_1_1?crid=23LWDSJ9IQHFF&keywords=three+prong+caseback+remover&qid=1701647385&s=hi&sprefix=three+prong+caseback+remove%2Ctools%2C130&sr=1-1
