Cortebert Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 A forum member asked me this afternoon whether I had anything to take the Case Backs off with. There are tools I know but the one I use below is specially made and machined from a solid block of alloy... On one end it unscrews the DSN/Jackson Case Backs (the ones I make) and on the other it unscrews the Silix Case Backs (again the ones I make)... Its a really handy tool to have and will work on Case Backs with Dome Plexis.... As you can see mine is a bit used and worn but polished it wouldnt look out of place in a watch box.... Its quite big ie the size of a small apple so its easy to grip... I was thinking of making a small batch if anyone is struggling with their sticky/rubber balls etc. Price should be sensible and not excessive if I can get a few interested....also I am modifying the top and bottom so that it has a camber or slope (will work better and cannot catch any lugs even if bent out of shape).

Drulee Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I can always use a backup for my blackbard solid aluminum case back remover (which has been doubling as a hammer), so mark me down for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esco Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I'd be interested in one too... assuming price is reasonable! This looks like a tank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cortebert Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I will try and make for the most popular models as each device unscrews two different cases, one on each end...and also keep the price sensible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panadyne Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Excellent idea, please put me down for one. I currently use an aluminium single-sider, that is really difficult to get a good grip on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I'd be up for one again depending on price. I have a 44mm one from Blackbard (works v.well). I'm missing 47mm and 45mm for my RAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent2 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 perhaps in brass/bronze ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRaph Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Wow, Now that looks like a really useful bit of kit. Currently, I use a Jaxa, which is great for all sorts of watches, but is such a pain to set up for the Panerais. One tool for 42/44 cases, and a second for 45/47 cases would probably cover almost everyone's needs, although there are a few odd ones out there (Eggi's ......) Be interested in prices.... Cheers, DR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimpie007 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Cool! But would'nt it be better to glue a thin plastic ring on the end so it won't scratch the watch when removing the caseback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchDoc6 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 what was the final word on this in terms of price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
