MAHLER Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Mahler's tips: 1) example http://www.rwg.cc/members/open-caseback-with-Ma-t85079.html 2) at work on Deep Sea: http://www.rwg.cc/members/DSSD-v3-modding-Origin-t98488.html 3) at work on Breitling: http://www.rwg.cc/members/Breitling-Montbr...-Le-t89368.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Couple of methods that have been suggested before: 1) Roll a piece of duct tape, sticky side out and stick to the back of the case. Use said duct tape to twist off caseback. 2) Use dishwashing gloves to grip and twist the caseback off. Both are known to work, though in some cases, you may need something that provides a little more leverage to get those particularly tight casebacks off. Personally, I just use the tools designed to work with those casebacks. Rolex is a specialized wrench/die set up and Omega should require the Jaxa style tool.

Brodie Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 If it's a screw on caseback, I've never met one that I couldn't open with just some plain duct tape. Just cut a strip and smooth it over the caseback, make sure you get a nice flat seal. Then just grab each end as near to the case as possible and twist.

highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Getting it open is one thing... But closing it back for water tightness with duct tape? Id just buy the proper tool for $30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
