Back Removal Cheap Rolex Sub from Price angels

[blcbob]

Hi Guys
Is there any one that could help me .
I need to remove the back and Mechanism to get at the face of this rather cheap Sub as the markers have come loose.
Having collected many watches in the past i dont normally get involved in repairs. But as this is a very cheap watch i have nothing to loose as i cant send it back. i dont normally get involved with real cheap crap Reps but i have another one of these and its been very good and only costing a fraction of the price of my normal Reps i only wear these for work. and also thought it would make a good intro to a bit of modding
Any help would be much appreciated

A sticky tape ball or rubber ball pressed onto the case back and turned normally does the trick.

Roll up a ball if duct tape so that the sticky stuff is on the outside. About the size of a tennis ball. Then attach it to the Caseback and twist hard while pressing. That should get it off.

Then you'll probably see two small screws that holds the movement. Use a small screwdriver to get those off and make sure to pull out the stem.

Movement will plop right out

When removing the stem does it just pull out. or do i have to unscrew the Crown from the stem as well.

you need to release the stem from the keyless works.

there's either a very small screw that needs to be turned a very small amount
or there is a very small button that needs to be depressed.

if it's a screw, only turn 1/4 turn at a time then test to see if stem comes
out. if not, one more 1/4 turn. never totally unscrew it. if it's a small
button, then depress slightly with appropriate tool, don't press too hard.

in your case, I'm guessing it's a small little button to depress.

the crown will stay attached to the stem at all times.

be careful.
