I was just handed a Marc Echo watch.  It look like a screw off back but looks like a few people have used a jaxa tool on it and scratched it up.  I tried a tacky ball and it is real tight if a screw off. I don't see a notch anywhere for prying off.  Any one know how to get in this case?

I got it open.  It is a screw off back.  It has a tiny 6 mm quartz movement inside.  A $350 watch with a $5 movement.  I could put a huge 44 mm movement in this case and still have extra room.

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      By dnhb · Posted

      The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.

      In think you are effectively shortening the coil by shorting out damaged tracks. In my case as long as the continuity was good and the resistance not too greatly affected it should be ok .  One was on an era  movement,
