[hogan1]

What tool would one need to open the case of a Seamaster 41 mm (apart from a sticky ball).

The absolute correct tool for that watch is -

But then you would need a Horotec press, which will also run big $$

All the "multi" tools- like this-

Have round pin style fittings, which will fit in to the case back.

It then becomes a matter of how good you want the tool to be.

I have been using this tools on Omegas and many other with good results:

I got mine from Amazon for little over 10 bucks (Amazon link HERE )

I hope this help you a little.

I use the basic Jaxa style as well. The only issue is that because they are NOT a specialized tool, the fit is a bit loose, so you have to be careful of slippage and make sure things are set as you need them so you don't scratch the caseback.
