Recommended Posts

Ciao Pobiga,

I bought exactly that tool from that ebayer on last July, at about 31 Euro (s/h included).

Now I see it is 21 Euro.

Grrr, I'd better have waiten :black_eye:

It is a great tool anyawy, I use it on a regular basis coupled with Narikaa's sticky balls.

A little on the larger side, but not really a problem.

Davidsen has a new Case Back Opener available which is much more accurate!

I decided to go with the best opener...Davidsen's.. :3a:

Guys, not taking anyone's side here - don't forget that while David's one seems to cost more, its designed for both 44 and 47mm casebacks.

It is also S/S made, with finish and quality second to none.

cheers,

babola

I don't think David's is Stainless Steel. I do know that it has a gun metal finish. I think it's made of steel..!

I am waiting for mine to arrive.! :)

@Usil:

It's an old trick from ebay sellers to keep the price ridicolously low and to add ridicolously high s/h fees.

Usually the sum equals the real price of the item + real cost of s/h, and it is so in this case too.

I was keeping an eye on this item since when it came out from another seller @ 50 USD.

When I found it @ 40 USD, I bought. And now it is @ about 27 USD.

When I bought it, Davidsen's opener was not available yet, though.

@Mikellem:

Let us know what you will think of it, Mike.

I found that there are actually two different sizes for 44 mm cases around, differing for a fraction of mm.

The blue tool is sized on the larger, so it is a bit too large for the smaller.

I heard that Davidsen's cases are even larger (just an additional fraction mm) than the larger ones. I hope it is not too large for the smaller ones.

Ciao Sssurfer,

1) I agree with you about the e-bayer trick but, you know, buyers are not stupid at all and, if thei're not in a hurry, they can wait and choose the best opportunity with lower offer. ;)

2) What do you mean exactly that's a bit too large for the smaller size? It is working anyway without problems or it is not working?

Thanks for your help & ciao! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

It is working -- provided that the user just pays a little attention in keeping it properly aligned with the caseback's shape.

I also have to say that I covered it with tape, though. I essentially did it in order to furtherly protect the caseback, not to make the tool's opening smaller... but the opening is a little smaller now that what it was originally.

@Sssurfer, Davidsen asked me for which watches I was going to use the opener on ...I went with 111/127.

You are 100% correct that there will be tight tollerences in his Case Back Openers! :)

When it arrives, I will let you know!
