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.

      I looked at it like this, I've built a lot of stuff in my time, building structures and furniture,those are my creations and they will still be here way way after I'm gone. Traditional watchmakers felt the need to pass their knowledge on, ideas that they created . I assume with them as it is with me, leaving their mark on the earth, a way of being remembered. This creation of Mark's has brought thousands of people together to pass their knowledge around,  ideas that will continue to be used for lifetimes. Ideas that should continue to be procured. If for whatever reason the forum ceased to exist, not quite like Ranfft's, that didn't disappear but much less usable. Then that is sad, such a massive loss of communication between good people and a wealth of knowledge lost. There should be something in place for when that happens which could be next week, next year or in 10 years. Might not be a topical subject for a lot of folk or boardering on controversy, i did say i talk about stuff other people dont. But if you dont talk about it and something happens then you've lost it and you ain't gonna fix it .

      I've remained silent on this thread, and at the risk of upsetting everyone, the thing that worries me the most the the apparent absence of Mark. The moderators do a great job and the members also pitch in, and the site seems to run itself, but it is a concern for the future of this forum when the owner is absent for all intents and purposes. Like many of the comments above I would hate to log in one day and things be closed down as I rely on this site for ideas and knowledge and also cheer me up. maybe the Moderators could reach out to him, assuming he does not read this thread, and express our concerns and let us know the plans going forward? some kind of WRT ark

      That was the exact reason for me starting this thread watchie. Still we haven't worked out how the regulars are going to hook up if it goes tits up. I honestly think something should be arranged to stay in contact, we all help each other so much.
