Bezel Tool

[lanikai]

Hi All..

I looked through the site at Ofrei.. and don't know what bezel removing tool is adequate for removal.

some are quite pricey and for my level of use.. would like a tool that I don't have to be challenged with.. but not necessarily "cheap"

what do you all use..

Thank you in Advance!

Aloha~Cheers

I use a case back knife.

The yellow handle Seiko style case back tool works for me most times.

With this you are pushing and expanding the gap, not twisting as with a case back knife.

On odd occasions I have had to get one in on one side, then use another (or a knife,) on the other.

Ah, that's the same idea behind the expensive bezel tool with 3 wedges... Good tip.

Surely Chief!

Just like life actually!

You can get a hand job for 50 bucks, or the full "machine" version, for considerably more.

Depends what bezel you want to remove.

I just use a caseback knife to remove sub outer bezel.

But for fixed bezels and crystal retaining rings, I use the horotec case crab. A bit pricey, but a great tool for easy bezel removal. just a few effortless turns and the bezel pops off! Made for snap backs, but is ideal for bezels as well.

Here is a review on PMWF.
