Great video! After 30 minutes of puffing with knife and then screwdrivers in attempt to open a watch I decided to get an advice from smarter people. Special tools videos were not relevant for ordinary woman but yours hit the bullseye! I opened the watch wearing my thick household rubber gloves - the ones that I use when sanitizing the kitchen. THANK YOU!
I was getting my stuff together for an engagement I have to attend this evening, and I noticed my watch was dead. I found the tool on Amazon, but it wouldn’t have arrived in time. Thankfully, I found this video, and it worked like a charm. Thanks again, greatly appreciate you making this video.
Thank you, it helped mo to open my screw caseback. I combined the use of nitrile gloves with usual tool and it worked. I had a crappy watch holder and that worked better holding the watch firmly with nitrile gloves!
Your thinking is ahead of mine, I've a magnificent but dated: "Ferrari wristwatch" that needs a new battery. it has a thoroughly silly 14-facet-screw-on-back: and no agent of Ferrari in Australia that I've managed to contact has any idea how to open it. On the back it says water resistant implying a screw-on back. My thinking is that it has to be an expensive "single battery use' throwaway wristwatch" made by the stupidest watch manufacturer in the world....I'll give your ideas a go........John, Perth, Australia.
@@colchilibeckI have a Japanese watch and it doesn't have a pry lip and no side notches. The battery is dead and I wanted to replace it but so far I can't get the back off. Tried to turn it with no luck but I might not be strong enough. I'm elderly and over the years I'm not as strong as I was in my youth. I'm not sure if it is a press on back or the screw type.
