"marquis radio controlled back boden" image search, you will find watches with a glass back, picturing a worldmap. The problem is, the back a pice of glass  glued into a steel frame. This back has a lip gripping into the case. If you open it, it has a small ridge to put a knife into there, the glass shatters. I guess these watches are made to be thrown away, im right? The manual states only a watchmaker can replace the battery. Extreme force is required to put the back back on. I have another watch with full steel back, its made the same way, but  there i cant get it pressed into the case, i know in this case a watch press would do the trick, but i filed the lip down, until it snapped in. Replaced the broken glass with Acrylic. I wonder if is there a solution to open this watch?
