fivefive Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Hi all, May I ask if anyone know how I can open a SFSO? basically there seems to be some dirt/dust on the dial itself and i wanna remove them... I've got the swiss 2824 SFSO black. Many thanks, five Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 The back should twist off. Try soe marigolds, or some scrunched up duct tape, that usually does the job for me on other watches. Not sure if this will be harder to remove due to its water resistance rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 I've opened a Steelfish with the one on the left, carefully: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawo Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Try a pair of rubber diswashing gloves and use your palm or use 2 fingers to open. This is the handiest caseback opening tool around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajoesmith Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 My advice, if you dont know how to take the caseback off then you shouldnt attempt to remove any dust from the inside of the crystal. removing the caseback is the easy part, removing the dial and movement a little more difficult and everything else a little more difficult after that. By all means go for it but be careful!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4GTR Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 (edited) Having a watchsmith do it right, and the piece of mind that go's along with it- ~$10 Having the watchsmith return the watch to you, and being completely impressed that it was a rep- priceless. Edit- Please dont take it to an AD. Edited December 26, 2007 by P4GTR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
