I finally needed to change the battery in my extremely incorrect rep Tudor Heritage Chronograph and found the case-back tight to the point where my sticky-ball couldn't do the job. I try not to use the adjustable three-prong openers on this kinds of case-back as I will often slip and scratch it. Just for grins I grabbed the opener die for a DSSD and, to my astonishment, it fit like a glove! I spun off the back and found, not surprisingly, I did not have to correct battery. A little bit of further trivia is the rep uses a Miyota OS21 movement and an SR927W battery. Although this is a fairly chunky and heavy watch it's one of my preferred beaters when I'm motorcycle riding. So, if you have one of these, and need to remove a tight case-back, grab a DSSD opener and it's smooth sailing. I bought just the single die from Watchbitz years ago right after the DSSD reps started coming out.

Braving the fallout, I wore my OPD today

You are close, but not quite there yet. When you start factoring in how many donations of blood & semen that vintage Rolex bezel, pillar plate or clasp will cost you, then you have made it.

Quick update. I've been wearing this 5512 with a genuine 7206 rivet bracelet with a "66" stamped clasp. That was only meant to be temporary as I'm saving that one for a future '66 Bart dial 5513. So l've recently acquired a mint condition "62" stamped 7206 bracelet that now more accurately matches the serial date range of my case as well as the caseback. Now this project is complete complete. Really.
