What’s up SchwartzForce, sorry for the late comment I’m out fishing and the reception is terrible here, hope y’all enjoy the video! 🎣
Well….I’m usually annoyed easily and inpatient during tutorials. But this is the first one I didn’t have those feelings. Such a relief. And your voice, composure, timing and helpfulness allowed me to actually learn how to do this. Basically you didn’t waste my precious time. Thank you.
Thanks! I would've never noticed that little lid if it weren't for this video. Also the rest of the instructions are very clear and useful!
Actually, sometimes, the most difficult job is to snap back the cover. When does not go by a thumb pushing it required another sound-science solution: place the cover in the freeze for a few minutes in order to contract the circumference and then it will go by an easy push.
Thank-you for your helpful video! I have a Timex (snap back) watch. I carefully removed the back with a small pocket knife. After replacing the battery, I placed the watch on a thin foam pad. I then popped the back on with a small vitamin bottle, bottle cap on top of watch back. Luckily, I had a bottle lid that was virtually the same diameter as the watch back. I didn't think it would be so easy! All the best.
Glad to hear the video was helpful! I always get so nervous opening and closing up the casebacks. Probably my least favorite thing to do with watches haha. Cheers! 😎🍻👍
I did it! Just changed my first watch battery!!! You made it safe and easy. Thank you sooo much! Now I want to tackle removal of a few links.😳
Way to go Gerry!! 🙌 I’m so glad this video is helpful to you and so many others. I know it can seem stressful but after a bit of practice it becomes super easy! Same with the links, just take your time and you’ll do fine! Cheers! 😎🍻👍
Very useful, thanks! I've had a watch repair kit for ages and didn't know how to use it as it didn't come with instructions, so this filled in the blanks for me.
Hey Mark, I'm glad that my video was helpful! I felt the same way when I got mine, no instructions but a whole lot of tools lol. Have a great weekend! 😎👍🍻
ayyy dropping the knowledge hammer! very informative and that tisell looks dope!
Thanks bro! Knowledge hammer gonna get all the noobs, lol. Appreciate the comment and the Tisell review is gonna be coming soon! 😎🍻👍
OMG THANK YOU! I was trying to remove the back of an all sterling Italy Milor watch to see if it just needs a battery replacement to resell but didn't want to scratch it! That plastic tip was EXACTLY what helped me!
So glad to hear my video and tips were helpful for you, Jessica! That plastic piece has saved many of my watches from some unnecessary scratches haha. Cheers! 😎🙌
I love the plastic suggestion. I’ll definitely used it from now on. One comment: most of those tool kits come with another tool for Snap down case backs. It smaller, almost T shaped. The edge is more blunt but it actually works better then the knife style tool. It is safer for you and the watch and works surprisingly well.
Thanks Peter! The plastic will prevent many scratches in the future! I wonder if it’s the other tool I have it’s kind of short and t shaped like you mentioned. I’ll give it a try next time, thanks for the suggestion! 😎🍻👍
@@DavidSchwartzjr yeah it didn’t seem like it would work but once I started using it I really liked it. Great channel. Keep it up !
Thank you for this informative video.
I really enjoyed this episode!
Your content has really improved a lot since day one. Good to see the growth in the quality of your videos 🙂
Very good tutorial btw. Clear, concise, straight to the point, no clickbait, no needless monologue to pad the running time of the video. Unlike some CZcamsrs who seem to be in love with their voice
Great job and keep it going
Thanks so much, Hiyuke! That really made my day as I've tried to really elevate the look and overall quality of these vids for you guys! I was afraid it may have ran a bit long but yes, I try to cut out the rambling and fluff when I edit these down haha. Appreciate all the support, my friend! 😎🍻👍
For some watches you will need a special tool. Many press on casebacks will not open like this. Similarly when closing them you also need a specialized tool.
Very helpful video .Thank you!
Thank you so much!!! Now two watches are working well, many thanks 🙏 ❤
Happy to help! I’m glad it all worked out for you. Cheers! 😎🙌
Thx very much.
Really informative!
Hey Junior, does this mean I should not be using a crowbar anymore.
Lmao, only if you put a piece of plastic between it and the watch...😂👍
Thank you. Excellent , It worked!!!!
this was very helpful. Thank you.
Glad to hear that it was helpful, Doris! 😊
Thanks for the info.
Incredibly useful vid!
Thanks man. I know I could have used it before scuffing up a few case backs in my early days lol
Need to buy this kit
Thank you!
Thanks man! You are a god!
Great tip on the sheet of plastic!
Thanks Witt! It has saved me on from scratching the case on countless occasions! Cheers! 😎🍻👍
Thank you very much for your vid very helpful with different watches case back and Congratulations 🎊 for the new president USA 🇺🇲... from Thailand 🇹🇭✌️
Hello David, thank you so much for the great video using your watch tools. I cannot see here what I need to know. Hubby has a Franklin Mint 10 point buck pocket watch. We were able to take the back off eventually, but cannot put it back, there are no little indications to mach up, no screwing - it just lifted off, no hinge, but we can't replace it. Can you help please? Thank you in advance.
Any recommendation for an SO charm bracelet watch? The lid is stuck so flat I can’t think of anything thin enough to pry it open
What's the term for a watch that has a solid caseback and the movement is only accessible through the crystal? Thanks, I have a Bucherer that is bade this way
I have a Mac Jacob similar pop in case back like the first the first watch. I lined it where I popped it open but now I can’t snap it back to close no matter how hard I tired
Observations: You still own the Brew. You didn’t include the plastic or dog toy in your affiliate links. 😁 Seriously though, well done. That’s how you do a tutorial my friend. I’ve never used the plastic and have been guilty of scratching my case back including my Omega! 😝
Aww man that poor omega case back lol, yeah I forgot where I saw that tip but definitely wanted to share it! Still got the brew and loving it and I’ll have to update the dog toy when I get home lol. Great observations bro! 😎🍻👍
Hi, I have older watches that doesn't have the little lid to help remove the back. What can I do to remove it ?
thanks
My pleasure, and thanks for checking out the tutorial! 😎🍻👍
None of these helps me 😢 my watch has a rectangle size, no lip, no screws.
I have the same problem.
I have a very cheap watch (it's one of my fav coz it has a big face) with a back cover that is completely round, it doesn't have a lip so I can't use a knife to get under it to open. How would I go about opening it? No lip, notch etc, completely round. Very good instruction video, I will use the plastic bit to open my other cheap watches LOL
Great tips! I really should get that thick sheet of plastic. :-/
Thanks Eve! Just a small piece will do! Probably even something as simple as packaging you may see on products at a store I’m sure would work just fine. 😎🍻👍
Good tutorial man. I hate those pop off casebacks they can be a s,o,b to get back on, a few yrs ago (before I knew better haha) I shattered a sapphire crystal on a Tissot trying to get one back on, so got myself one if those $10 crystal press tools from amazon, well worth the money. 👍🍻😊
Thanks Adrian! Yes those pop off cases are the absolute worst! Wow sorry to hear about the Tissot crystal damage. Maybe I should pony up the $10 and get a press. Would hate to have that happen to any of my watches, thanks for the suggestion! 😎🍻👍
A good video. When i opened my watch the guts inside fell out, put it all back in. Well not all, had two or three bits that wouldn't hammer back in. Anyway keeps not bad time without those so just binned them. Sometimes stops though, so i just batter it off the mantlepiece or the kerb if i'm outdoors. Anyone know how to remove scratches from the glass without making a crack any bigger?
Hi your video is great, however I have a vintage Rolex Tudor Rose mechanical watch that Id like to know the best way to remove the back. Can anyone recommend a particular tool? Thank you
Hi Janet, thanks for the kind words. The tool you likely need is going to be something like this:
amzn.to/3DqfW98
or like this:
amzn.to/3RZEBp9
Just depends on if the dies are the correct size for the Rolex Tudor Rose that you own.
How can I get ;or where can I buy this tool?
My what a lovely sticky ball you have 😂, sorry couldn’t help myself 👍
Lol! I don’t even know what to say mate, haha! 😂🍻👍
Removing is easy, the hard thing is putting the pop off case back back on!
Yeah, I should have emphasized that its common they will be a PITA to get pressed back on. I'm thankful I don't have too many with press backs and the battery changes are seldom so its not too often I mess with them. Thanks for the comment bro! 😎🍻👍
I hate snap on case backs! A press makes it easier, but always worrisome of the pressure on the crystal.
Mine it's naviforce watch and how can I open its back cover using household tools
What do you when the case back is stuck?
That was a great video Dave😃👍 I don't have a dog I have a cat but a trip to the pet store could be in order🤣👍 better but some catnip while I'm there or he'll be pissed😬 I never got a mallet/hammer with my kit,I feel robbed not that I would even know what to do with it,what's it for,pins? Very enjoyable video bro😃.
Buy catnip🤯🔫
Thanks Trip! I'm glad you liked the vid as usual and yeah the little mallet is for the push pins on the links for bracelets. I usually only use the nylon side but I'm sure you can find some cheap instead of a whole new kit. I'm tempted to go look on wish.com now lol! Def get that catnip bro, I know how cats can be...😂🍻👍
@@DavidSchwartzjr I'm so pissed I don't have a mallet😂 lockdown talking 🤯🔫 but hey,I've said to another reviewer lately,these are the videos we all need right now,not about crazy priced watches but about how to shake up an exciting one a little(strap video), maintenance and budget options. I feel kinda lucky I didn't get hit as bad as so many people last year but it's still not easy.
I think folks need a little hope,some options and an enthusiastic reviewer,well done bro honestly😃👍
Sometimes a snap on case back requires an arbor press to reseal
There is no wee little lip on my Fossil watch. It all sits flat. I generally have to use a large xacto knife to open mine.
David the back Case is smooth with serrated edge?
If it’s the kind of case back like Rolex and Tudor use, you’ll need a tool like this one that has serrated teeth to fit in the grooves: amzn.to/3RKp1ze
Sometimes I find it very difficult to put a pop-up caseback back on the watch.
Yeah, I've never used a case press due to my fear of cracking the crystal but sometimes I struggle getting them popped back into place as well. The watch I used on this how to was kind to me lol. 😎🍻👍
How to clean the watch front by removing the parts inside instead of the glass tho??? I got a Lacoste to clean
It depends, some watches you have to remove the crown and then the movement can be removed. I’ll try to do a video on that soon. 😎👍
@@DavidSchwartzjr thank you! Do all sorts but btw I fixed the Lacoste. How to fix a broken engine on a watch tho? Next phase level XD
How to snap on time watch back
I used the watch back remover without the watch vise thing once. I regret it 😂
Oh man, I will admit...me too! It does not end well haha...Hopefully this will help some new watch guys and gals out there from making the same mistakes we did! 😎🍻👍
David Schwartz exactly. At least the giant scratch was on the caseback and not the dial side
Yup, just don’t look at it and all is well haha. Also, I may hate to see misaligned bezels, but I know for a fact if I attempt to remove it, the front has about a 110% chance of getting rekt 😂
Me with 3 nurses fob watches no chance of getting back off as no lip.. Nightmare…
Watching your video, there's no notch on this watch, I'm using a knife, I'm short-sighted, so everything is close to my face, I try the action to lift the back, but I'm keeping my eyes closed. I don't want to open.
A few moments later
I took the knife edge and knocked it with a screw driver and it came off.
I don't like case back design. I'm struggling with my orient bambino 5s :(
Da fuck my watch ainy got nun of that 😂help
That tool does not work. I can't get anything but the thinnest razor blade under the lip and it is not strong enough to lift it.
Well… you only used two tools that cost few bucks… and should not then advise people to buy a £100 tool, do you??
Well, we sheeple fell for it again. How did the companies convince us we needed batteries in watches when we already had wind-ups that required absolutely NOTHING to make em go except to wind them up!
Thank you!
