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.

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
