rosnik Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 Hi gang! that's my ne case opener! it's a simple plastic ball! I bought on EBay. It really works and do not ruined the case . UBELIVIBLE!!! It works better than my Bergen key! PS: look for "HORB Caseback Opening Ball for Screwback Watches" on Ebay.
w.genzo Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 It works great, narikaa gave some sticky balls for free a few months ago. Not sure they assure waterproof, but wich rep actually does?
rosnik Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Posted May 13, 2008 It works great, narikaa gave some sticky balls for free a few months ago. Not sure they assure waterproof, but wich rep actually does? I tested to close hard with standard key and I open with the ball with no problems. Than I close with the ball and I tested to re-open with standard key, it was really hard closed too! WMW: it works great! Especially on GEN, to not get scraps on them...........
lazarini Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 All of us that attended the GTG in Brussels got one they were donated by narikaa works like a charm if only case is not to tight on i had tried it on a Pam Aktros that a friend got recently ... did not wanna move ... all other watches worked fine.

hiker01 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 I've got one from Ofrei and it works really good! Water resistance seems to be ok as well!
robj Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 Iv'e used these for ages they are great just a word of caution though watch the lugs they can puncture the ball rendering it useless

Laz I have a couple here from Brussels GTG aswell Now, on certain Rolies, I cannot open the case back with the sticky ball if they are closed with a die too firmly though.
Nanuq Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 Well there *is* another way, as long as you have good aim...
freddy333 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 I have 2 of them (1 from ofrei, I cannot remember where I got the other) & although they are alot of fun to play with, neither either provides a good seal or opens a caseback that was closed with the appropriate tool (like Nanuq uses).
lazarini Posted May 13, 2008 Report Posted May 13, 2008 hmm i think nanuqs method opens pretty much everything
