It doesn't appear to be a snap on.

 

Thanks

A SWISS army knife (not bergeon ? )

A side-view photos would be more helpful.

Hi that looks like its screwed on but I have seen backs like that which were snap on,  so lets assume its screwed on and requires either a key or a Jaxa set to remove it.  A cheaper alternative is to super glue a nut of you choice to the back and leave for a hour so its good and set. Now using a spanner on the nut unscrew the back. The nut can be removes using nail varnish remover and the back cleaned up. Another alrernative is the sticky ball pressed on the back and turned, even a rubber sucker pressed on and twisted might work. I have never known the nut method fail yet       If it assumed it is pressed on tight and the case knife wont shift it  a bezel /case back tool will do the job.         I have the red one and it works very well. available from cousins or ebay.

      Slava 2414 clamps screws

      By ColChibani · Posted

      Some news. After screws removal from donor movement, a family shot. From left to right: original (broken) screws new screws purchased from Cousins UK, as "Slava 2428 clamp screws", that didn't fit. They actually & definitively look too large screws removed from donor 2428 movement Here we go! First one is in position: Let's continue on the other side: Done! Next step will be putting back the hands. Another discovery for me! I keep going ...

      Bezel for 1954 Rolex 6581 Oyster Perpetual

      OK, I have been there many times and know several solutions. As I believe, the pinion (the part with the leaves ) is on the other side of the arbor, yes? If so, then there is easy way to solve the problem. You can grind from one side as shown on the drawing with dremel tool. This will allow to push out the broken drill bit easy from inside. Then You will be able to insert new pivot and then You can solder it in place and in the same time to fill the ground portion with solder. Of course, I mean solder for PCBs, but not the led free one - use led containing solder, the led free solder which is offered in common hardware stores is for idiots.

      I think this is probably the part you were looking for but as it's a non standard Seiko Part Number there's no information on it. Maybe you could compare details with the Laurel @Embezelled has.

      Couldn’t resist

      Purchased this today from a retired surgeon that said he couldn’t carry on restoring clocks any more in his retirement because of failing eye sight, he just kept bringing out boxes Pultra advertised as a 17/50 but turned out to be a 17/70 , 2 crosslides 3 tool rests fixed steady lots of collets , full set or step chucks, full set of ring chucks , full set of bell chucks plus loads more, he had a working mardrive as well but I said I didn’t want that but I did take the overhead gantry. That should keep me quiet restoring that according to my wife , she knows me so well after 50 years. Dell
