i have one of those sticky ball already, I just don't trust it for closing the case back enough to be 100% watertight

It is the standard die for a 40mm oyster case. 29.50mm

I use the ball for as much as the process as possible to minimize the risk of scratching the case back and then use the die for the last little bit.

I have to say that I found the Pelogos ti threads very hard to screw down. By hard, I mean that the ti surfaces don't want to slide against each other very smoothly. It feels like they are galling. I assume it has to do with ti versus stainless.

so 29.5mm was the correct dye. I ended up buying the bergeon one, the knockoff version was too even scratch the teeth of the case back, let alone turn it.

I resume the topic to understand if anyone can confirm the case opener dye size for such model.
Is it really the 29.5 mm?
I'm asking since case is 42 mm but back open diameter seems to be around 33 mm and I pointed out that there is a dye with 33.5 mm.
Thanks in advance for any possible suggestion

Thanks! Actually I found bigger sizes from 30.5 to 36.5 mm on Aliexpress. They are described to fit with bigger Tudor. My issue is to understand which should be the corret on. Measuring the back open, the diameter between teeth seems 33.3 mm, thus I suppose a dye 33.5 mm should be suitable. But I'm not an expert and I'm trying to find some further information.

Just to complete the topic, the right size is 33.5

Hate to dig this up, but I'm search for correct Black Bay 58 size. Is the 33.5mm for Pelagos the same?
