How to open the backcase?

[migueloliveira]

Hi,

please, I've got an SpeedMaster Date and I want to open/remove the caseback. How can I remove it?

Kind regards,

There's several ways.

One that I use is the Jaxa (or similarly styled) caseback remover. You can buy these from Offshore here in the forums, or Amazon, eBay,Ofrei, etc. If you will be doing a lot of work on your watches, I'd def invest in one of these.

The simplest way is to use a ball of duct tape. Put the watch (crystal side down) into your palm. Use a ball of duct tape (sticky side out) to unscrew the caseback. It may take a little elbow grease, but its really very easy.

Be careful with your watch, and enjoy yourself!

dlc.nla, many thanks about your help. I will try the ball of duct tape and after that I will tell here if I get it out.

ajs914, it was very hard to find one in the end of last year, and it was not a new one, it is a second hand bought on Silix. This Omega (such as the Day/Date) was release in 2008, but soon the stop the production and never returned again.... Like I said I bought a second hand, but I was a lucky guy finding it.



Today I've ordered a genuine bracelet, that I think that it will look very cool on this Omega. This one:

Best regards,

Job done!!! Again, many thanks about your tip dlc.nla.

This was the first time that I'm seeing the interior of my watch, and it look great!!! Take a look:

Just one more question, if I may. Do anybody know if I can fit a genuine backcase on this rep?



My best regards,
