Where can I find tool to open Polerouter Jet


Recommended Posts

This will do the job you could try it by hand or you might need the vice as well. Don't buy the cheap Chinese type which are about on ebay go to a proper watch tool suppliers and get the real thing, this tool will open pretty well all watch backs.

I do have one of these, and tried the bits with the flats, however, the sides of the case back are thin and I can't get enough of a grip. I was looking at ones similar vintage openers for Mido. Similar style and look more like a crescent wrench. Thanks for posting

If that's the case are you sure it un-screws and doesn't flip off with a case knife. Have you tried the tool with the vice and put that into a bench vice hold it level and turn, does it still slip.

In my opinion the only way to open this type of case is with the correct tool. Any other tool may end up deforming it.

You can superglue a nut to the case back and then loosen it with an adjustable spanner. remove the nut with Superglue remover when you've finished.

I picked up a set of Tissot back removers and there were a number of the correct type wrench in there but they're too expensive for a one off job.

On other way I've used is to use a large adjustable wrench but be VERY careful and hold it tight and press down so as not to let it slip off.
