Thank you Offshore for the hints.
It was indeed a SNAP BACK. I checked with Andrew and he confirmed that fact.
I finally got it open with the Bergeon knife. I wish I had the "Wedge style case back opener" that you pointed above. It could've saved me some trouble. It will be on next Wachsmith shopping list
Happy New Year.

Don't think its a snap back. And I am almost 100% sure its not a front opener.
The screws on these have a history of being extremely soft..
To the point they strip the 1st time they are screwed up.
Sometimes the factories will even glue them in.....seriously.
So depending on what happened when the attempt was made to unscrew them, we can look to the next step to cure the problem.

I also have a Box of Bergeon 30009 quality screwdrivers and these are the only drivers I use on my watches.
When I first attempted to "unscrew" what I thought were "6" screws on the back of this watch. All of them
got separated from the case back and turned out to be mere decorations "glued" to the back as you can see:
I also do not believe the case is a snap-back. I tried with the knife above many times. I couldn't find the slightest "edge" to tilt up from.
What do you think?

Hi,
A while back I bought an LV010A for my wife from Andrew.It is now time to change the Battery.- I tried to "un-twist" the 6 screws. However, they were mere decorations. Not real screws- I tried to "Snap-it off" with a Bergeon knife but was not successful- I tried to "Twist" the whole back with a Bergeon suction tool and a Suction Ball and was not successful either.These are the tools I used so far:Any help is appreciated.What tool do I need to open that case to change the battery?Is it a Screw back or a Snap-back?William -
Again please
Anyone knows where I can get a GOOD replica Breitling SuperOcean 42mm A17360 (Any Dial color/Any Strap)?

JomaShop.com does not carry the old SuperOcean
Is the one in RED color "SuperOcean" text legit or a replica?

Hi Guys,
I'm new to this forum but already loving the massive information that is shared between the members.
I am looking for the following addition to my watch collection:
Breitling SuperOcean with Orange Dial 42mm (A17360)
I couldn't find any replica so started looking for a genuine piece and found one here:
http://www.greatnewdeal.com/products/watches/breitling/superocean/a1736006-o506
Is this a Genuine watch or a Scam site?
Did the Orange dial on the A17360 ever come with the "SuperOcean" in RED?
I have seen a different variation of that same watch dial here:
I am also considering buying any replica A17360 and have the dial replaced with an Orange one. Will that work?
Any help is appreciated

I like Trusty. He is reliable and did not have a problem with him so far. Good Luck

Swarovski Octea - Removing the Bezel
in Other Brands Area
Posted
Hi Guys,
I am in a tiny spot and need help please!
I removed the back case on this watch to replace the battery:
Unfortunately, due to the large size of the front bezel, none of my dies fit to get the CASE PRESS to work.
I tried all the sizes offered and even bought a new set from OFREI. None works.
The only way out is to remove the BEZEL to get one of the dies to "sit" properly and then press the back case into place.
Any clue how I can remove the bezel without paying a fortune?
