truckarms Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Well I had to get the back off a watch yesterday and I had a quick go but lacking faith that I would manage it without breaking something I gave up very quickly and went off to see a jeweler. Well the first guy I went into tried and said it was cross threaded and that it was trashed. He could do it but would not garantee not damaging the watch!!!!! I decided to leave and went to a proper watch shop instead the guy had a quick shot at it and again failed to get it open. He had a closer look and said its probably just a little bit stiff so he got an Ice cube out stuck it inside a plastic bag and held it against the back of the watch for a min or 2 then tried to open it again and it worked instantly!!! As I said so simple and I think worth mentioning. Sorry if its been done loads of time before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
