Tool of the Week
Case-back openers. More of them!
Seriously, we can't get enough of these things. Despite having so many
different shapes and sizes, we still routinely encounter watches that don't
quite fit any of our templates.
Sure, some might 'almost' fit,
but it's not worth the risk. If the part that locks around the case back was to
slip whilst turning the handle of the bezel press it could well result in serious
damage to your watch.
Nick has even resorted to turning
parts on his lathe at home just to fit certain models. There's no one-size-fits-all
tool.
Here is more of a tip: if you’ve
just started setting up your watch repair shop then invest in Bergeon 5700,
which is industry standard and will accept a wide range of attachments.
