No i know Mike, i just mentioned that as a comparison of casebacks that are super tight. I would want to make an attempt at modifying one. Good to know that works Mike, you're braver than me, desperation can push your limits š -

Before trying wet and dry, you could use polishing compound on the mating surfaces.Ā Wash off.Ā It will remove microscopic amounts of material and smooth the surfaces.Ā -

As a temporary measure we could have a " to trash " email, it takes a of couple minutes to set up . I've just used yahoo , so staying out of the microsoft and google zone. I know that IP addresses can be pulled from just about anywhere by folk clever enough, i prefer not to get too paranoid about this stuff. My daughter was got hacked massively a couple of years ago by a random scammer, he got into all of her accounts except her banking. It was a headache but she fixed it and no real harm done.Ā Waggy's list now has my name but my wife's maiden name and a yahoo email that's it. Safe ish but contactable. Thanks Ross,but please think about how you would make contact if the forum were ever to not be here. -
This is not a "fashion" watch, it was made in 1972. The first time I tried to open it I used a knife blade and hammer to start it, then used the opening tool. I thought it might be stuck with gunk, but cleaned it all up and its just the same. There is no gasket. It's so tight that I cannot hold it down with my thumb whilst trying to prise it with the opening tool. I just have to keep tightening the tool until it pings, which is starting to damage the case.Ā Ā If I leave it as it is, there is a chance of damage to the watch when it is opened. So I feel I need to do something. I just ran a very fine file around the back of the case. I barely removed any metal, and now it fits nicely. Tight, but I can prise it off with the case removerĀ š -
Cheers both - Wife thinks I'm mad ironing clocks!
