Opening a Pam Ferrari GT RG case back (without scratching it...)

[millemiglia]

Hello Pam Experts!

Sometimes ago I bought a RoseGold PamFerr GT from Precious, and since it got a lot of use some parts were quite worn out. I bought replacement parts now one of which is the engraved case back.

It is basically a golden dodecagon:

I have to remove it in order to replace it but, since the reason for changing it is the worn gold coating, scratching it would defeat the purpose wouldnt'it? (specially considering the thin layer of gold present).

What kind of tool should I use? Please hel me out!

I'm no expert on this, but you might want to try to use putty between this and a lug wrench case opener. Also, if I recall, there are rubber caseback openers available that can also do the job with a little elbow grease. I yield to more talented experts on this site though.

Have you tried

a. Rubber gloves

b. Sticky ball from Narikaa

c. Hand full of packing tape

Will the sticky ball work (I mean has someone tryed it? I would have to buy it so knowing beforehand would be great! )

I use a ball of duct tape or neoprene gloves... also, use constant steady force not wrenching

[millemiglia]

You mean you wear neoprene gloves and open the case with your hands (without a tool)?

[Shundi]

Yep.

I'll repeat the suggestion for rubber gloves (dishwashing gloves) They work

sticky ball. you can find it on ebay when you look for panerai watches...

Tryed, yes I didn't scratch it, no it wouldn't budge

This thing is super tight!!

I guess I will have to buy the sticky ball after all...
