48mm Caseback Opener PAM 616

[johnlogan]

My Carbon Tech requires a 48MM caseback opener. Anyone seen one around? I own 45 + 47mm but have never seen a 48mm before.

I've used a pipe wrench before but I taped some pvc tape around the jaws as so not to scratch or mark the case or case back.

The PAM616 is a 47mm watch. Strange that it requires anything other than a 47mm caseback opener.

Indeed. The 47mm caseback tool fits the Bronzo perfect, however is too small for the 616. Caseback not GEN spec?

Apparently this was a common problem as the guys at Home Depot recommendation this PAM caseback opener! It worked.

Saw the saw issue in the past, we need to find a PAM Opener that is little bigger. I think some are "just" too small from less than a mm

The 47mm is 1 or 2mm too small. The wrench worked ok, a tad corse but fine!
