lanikai Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 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 Lani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I use a case back knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 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.

Offshore Ah, that's the same idea behind the expensive bezel tool with 3 wedges... Good tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a hand job for 50 bucks, or the full "machine" version, for considerably more. Offshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilty Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 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. Horotec Case Crab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
