Esser Watch Case Opener

Although I have not seen one of these I can see how it works. It is for screw back cases. The tabs are for the different  slot sizes in the case back and fit into the part (the bottom right of you picture).Then you turn it over and adjust the distance required then turn the whole unit to undo the case back. I guess the other part is a clamp to hold the watch case if a tight one is being undone.

PS There was one on eBay SOLD & it shows instructions.
