Yeah they work good for me. Sticky ball won’t cut it. Everything is really tight on these ARF.

No those are both reps. The one on the right is the latest SD with updated bezel. Some other things have changed as well. Doing a write up. I’ll have it done tomorrow. Installing a gen datewheel gen crown and tube. Possibly a prof cyclops as well.

The fit doesn't seem to be as precise as it should be and the size is a tiny bit too small. Consequently I find I have to really push down hard on the tool to ensure it grips the caseback properly without slipping and scratching. I've used it on the same watch as you OP so it does work, just.

Same here. Tool does not fit the watch case back properly. Very easy to scratch the case.

So $20 tool to scatch up a $400 watch.

I had to use hot glue and a nut to remove my arf 116610 904l. It was on super tight. My super ball was defeated.

I bought exactly the same set last week and it works very well! I have opened my SD43 easily.
