[Nikoteen]

I've got a Pam and was just wondering...If i want to take the case off and have a looksie inside do i need to have a specific Pam caseback tool?
If so, where can one be purchase for a reasonable amount?

You can use a duct tape ball to remove the caseback as well to tighten after reattachment. However to tighten it properly, you'll need either a PAM caseback tool (40, 42, 44, 46 or 47mm depending on your PAM) or a generic tool which locks all manner of sizes and types of casebacks (from a watch toolkit).

You can get the PAM caseback tool from ebay or the TDs.

To close it you need a tool that fits. You could use pliers as a substitute, but you are very likely to scratch your watch.

I was tired of the duct balls and bought a sticky ball for around 1 USD on Ebay.

Sticky ball!

This worked fine for me! Just need one big enough, tight fit, gentle slow pressure, no problem.

Sticky ball does the job, Pam caseback is more easier to open than Rolex caseback.

I have a 44 tool and it works just fine..., except for Jakob casebacks because they are thicker and therefore a bit larger on the edges....

Do you mean sticky ball or pam caseback opener?

If it is sticky ball, it is something like this from ebay.

If it is pam caseback opener, it is something like this from Offshore.
