    This was the only technique that actually worked for me. I tried everything else. Thank you so much for your video.

    Thank you! I went to 2 seperate jewelers who could not get my watch open, but managed to do it myself copying this video

    You guys are brilliant!!! Awesome video!! I had a stubborn vintage mechanical watch that would not open. I bought pro case knifes, special tools and nothing worked. This trick did it for me. Keep up the good work!!!

    AWESOME! This worked in snap! I didn’t have a lip or gap. Thought it was hopeless. I just used an eyeglass repair kit screwdriver. Thank you!

    Absolute winner of a tip - bought a Tissot "Precious Flower" as part of a job lot, which needed a battery. Previous owner/s obviously tried and failed - lovely polished backplate absolutely riddled with ugly scars and scratches. Tried this trick and it popped off in minutes, new battery in and the watch is running like a dream. Thank you so much!

      you bought a quartz watch?? A Tissot!?? WHY?? Get a REAL Tissot...a mechanical. In the end times, (Trump induced) you wont be able to find a battery

    • @TheScimitarboy
      @TheScimitarboy 3 месяца назад

      @markfrost2707 I have MANY Tissot watches - quartz battery, automatic mechanical, and even three or four Tuning fork "Tissonics"... Seeing as the best silver oxide batteries are made in Switzerland and Japan I'm not too worried about future supplies...

    I hesitated to click this video because I assume it's all crappy clickbait at this point. THIS VIDEO IS NOT CLICKBAIT! It is the truth! This technique works amazingly well! Thank You!!!

    This trick worked great! I work on small electronics and have changed many watch batteries for friends and family over the years, but I couldn't get my own open. This method got it open for me. Thanks for posting!

    Excellent tip! I wasn't convinced it would work, but sure enough, the caseback came off very easily after doing this. Thanks for posting the video.

    I've had a caseback stuck on a watch for probably 15 years now. Every few years I try again to pry it open. Finally got it with this trick. Incredible.

    Had 2 very stubborn casebacks I couldn't remove. I tried for several days, using jewelers screwdrivers, knife blades, anything to try and get under the covers. So frustrating. This trick removed both in a matter of seconds. One of the best, most helpful, tool hacks I've come across. Thank you for posting.

    Thanks for this video, my old CITIZEN ANA-DIGI TEMP was impossible to get the back off (no notch). As a Welshman I always knew in my heart that the answer was to hit it with a hammer!!

    I wasnt able to get the back of mine open.
    I opened some Timexs just fine,
    I thought I could do the same with this one but I put the wrath of god trying to pry it open no luck,
    I tried the microdrive and hammer and no luck,
    Its looking pretty uncheveled atm lol,
    A lot of banging and no luck,
    thankfully i can still return the watch but its so beautiful and it has everything i want, date, day, and time,
    UGGGGGGGGGH!!! :-(

    @jonconlon5440 Год назад +2

    my watch has no lip and back is so tight it will admit any penetration even as small as a razor blade. It there any way to open his snap back?

    • @Steveh112
      @Steveh112 Год назад +1

      There are some that screw on that you need a special tool to grip it and unscrew without damage or injury. No tab or pry lip may be an indication it's that type.

    • @jonconlon5440
      @jonconlon5440 Год назад +2

      @@Steveh112 Thanks so much. My watch was not screw on but a Normal??? snap on/off back. After trying seven or more types of openers, I finally took it in and the watch man finally found a tool that went into the seam.

    Abuse of tools. One does not treat screwdrivers that way. Use the right tool.

  • @michaelelzey
    @michaelelzey 7 месяцев назад

    No! No! No! Screwdrivers are for screws not prying off casebacks or being hammered. Water resistance out the window 😢

    well it not work and I still managed to scratch the back this is by far the worse advice ever
