I replied to my post re: waiting for and receiving the Pobeda ZIM 2602 with the following (and I'm reposting here to get better exposure).

Any ideas on opening this critter? It doesn't seem to have a separate bezel (some of these required you to pop the bezel and remove the movement through the front). I can't seem to find a spot along the case back that is enlarged for a case knife. Pressure with a ball isn't doing me any good. Suggestions?

The items listed below I have found to be very useful in opening tight snap on backs

This first one is a little expensive and I sam sure I paid a lot less for mine but can't find the original listing, but if its good enough for Richard Perrett its good enough for me.  Shop around I think I paid less than £30 for mine, although prices are going up everywhere at the moment. 😞

This one is a very close copy of the one sold by Horotec at the usual fraction of the price, this one is useful as it does Backs, Bezels and Strap adjustments

This last one is a sort of oversize automatic center punch, just locate the blade edge in the slot between back and case and push until a click is heared and the back pops off.

Yes I buy too many tools 😉

Yes I have a tool to open these blighters. See pic some case backs just do not oblige with a case knife. However the style of opener I use does have an issue in that if not carful the case back when released flies away into way and beyond E03D8E12-6705-4E2C-BBE6-91740A9BC63E.jpeg.bdb3f2dba5f8783de50f8b51fab43367.jpeg

      Balance cock stud screw

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      As Richard said, this is a really old school trick for joinery.  Cut i strip of paper, might need to be watch paper  around 1 " x 1/2" lay it over a staking block then press the stud screw into and through the edge of the paper upto the head of the screw. You probably wont even need to pull the paper away the head will pull itself through.

      Waltham 6/0 d winding stem

      By ooteenie · Posted

      Hello,  i am looking to source a winding stem (winding arbor) for a waltham 6/0 d movement. I have found some that claim to fit 6/0, 6/0s, 6/0b etc and somealso claim they will also fit the d as well. The d does have hacking which is driven by the stem seating completely. Given some of the costs of these, i was hoping someone would know of any interchangeability with a source, or know a source where a confirmed 6/0 d stem can be had. I am in the US so a US dealer is best.    thanks in advance.

      So great to see and hear- your mum looks great! …my mil had a stroke last summer in the golf course parking lot. I’m flying out tomorrow to visit and play golf. she’s ornery because she can’t get off the tee but I hear she makes up for it on the greens since she’s been putting since a week after her stroke 🧐…
