For some reason I keep thinking Rotary and Longines are related, weren't both company established by folks who were somehow related? Did Rotary use movements made by Longines. I think this is the second time you corrected same mistake of mine on this point. Rgds

Update: The caseback is finally off! The case knives I have are too large to fit inside such a small indent, and I also sadly do not have one of the screw in tools with a very narrow tip, which is what I most likely needed in the first place. In the end i just forced in a screwdriver with a bit more force that i was really comfortable with and the caseback shot off. Somehow I did not damage the case any further which I am happy about. Thanks for your advice, next payday I will most likely increase my caseback removal arsenal. Also for anyone interested the movement inside is an AS 1795

Benrus Waterproof Case Series Crystal Info.pdfThe manufacturer's info on this era of cases/crystals/stems/crowns is included in the set of repair/replacement parts Benrus sold at the time. I'll attach that insert. There was also a 3-ring notebook style catalog, parts list and instruction manual that was sent out in the 1950's and updated a few times. These come up for sale on eBay every now and then, and if you are truly interested in Benrus it's worth grabbing one or more (to cobble together a complete set). Some of that information has been shared online in various places so you can also do a web search for Benrus-associated pdf files. A few of those manuals sold last week: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=benrus+repair+manual&_sacat=0&LH_Sold=1 Benrus Waterproof Case Series Crystal Info.pdf
