A simple way to open Rolex case back...

[CARTIERSANTOS]

Hi everyone

Maybe You know that tip...
If You do not have a tool for opening Rolex case back, You can use this simple tip.
All You need is :
À piece of metal long enough
Super Glue

You glue like the picture and then any caseback won't resist You.

Then You pull off the metal piece and remove easily the glue on caseback by scratching...
Hope this will help a lot of members. Bye

I think it's much easier to buy a full set of case tools for just $20 at aliexpress [emoji6]

Remove the glue by "scratching"??? Really??:blush::helpsmilie:

Just curious, did you actually buy this? I just bought one off of amazon that looked similar, and came from China. But when i got it, it had no box and no wrench. Just 6 chucks in a zip lock bag.

I have that exact set that came complete... I used it to open a long time stuck sub can back... Works a treat... Yep $20-$25 on Ali.

Remove the glue by scratching? If you did employ this crazy method wouldn't acetone be easier?

wow really? i mean i am heavy handed but whats wrong with a bit of inside out rolled tape or a bouncy ball cut in half?

I bought a set at Harbor Freight Tools. I really don't want to superglue my watch.

Crap... Really? I just bought one on Amazon that looked exactly like the picture posted. If I don't get a complete set with wrench they will be in for a swift return.

I have always used the rubber ball(not cut in half though). Works like a charm and when Fido pops it they are only a buck at Walmart.

I bought Rolex caseback openers. Sadly the largest is about 1 mm too small for a Sub-C and nowhere near big enough for a DSSD.

I'll rubber ball them if needed in the future.


What shall we have? An '82 Margaux! Is it any good? Good....?, It will make you believe in God!

I use a stress ball or a wad of duct tape.

That my friends is the most primitive way to open a Rolex caseback. Why oh why my dear Rolex guys cant you buy a cheap legitimate Rolex caseback opener for around $25 bucks. And they are EVERYWHERE to be found !! Geeez !! You spend for lots of other more costly things and you go the caveman way to do things. Would you use a hammer and chisel and a kitchen knife to do work on your car. Why oh why oh why !! :thud:And again ! :thud:

Please notice that I agree with all the things you said.

My point is : "In case you do not have all the right tools, and you just can't wait ..."
bye

The one I bought came from the seller YXGOOD. Hope you have better luck than me.

Oh dear! I thought my socket wrapped in a rubber glove was crude! xD

Same seller, I managed to get a full set with a box and wrench, but the 29.5mm chuck is too small to fit any of my casebacks. Broke out the digital calipers and the diameter actually measures 29.36mm. :trollhard:

Already packaged up and ready for drop off at UPS on my way home from work!
