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
