I have a feeling that it's still a snap off case back. Unfortunately they made it in such a way that it's easy to install but hard to remove. Not all case backs have a recess unfortunately. You'll have to be creative.

I have the standard tools to open casebacks, but once in a while if a watch is giving me a hard time, I am using my fine point Leatherman's screwdriver.

Probably. There are already scratches there. [emoji4]

Sometimes I have to use a single edge razor blade with a metal backing to start some of those off. There is also a nifty little black tool on the bay that resembles a little crowbar that you can get from China and they work great as long as you keep the edge sharp. They provide the much needed leverage that a screwdriver tip just won’t give you and you don’t have to worry about a screwdriver blade being stuck in your hand or finger. Painful experience.

thanks guys.sorted it.took the broken glass out and then pushed through the dial and the back came away easily,although i would probably need one of the tools suggested for next time!(battery change etc).tried to get it off earlier near the crown but sadly the stem broke at the point where it goes into the crown (boss).so i now have the problem of trying to get that bit of the stem out.fitting a new stem wont be a problem?

i don't think you'll be able to remove that piece, and will need a new crown. And since you need a  specific replacement cystal also , that may be a bit too much to make the repair worth on on a quartz fashion watch.

      Oiling Dubois Depraz chrono module pivots (Omega Speedmaster Reduced)

      By Simeon · Posted

      Righty ho, I re-serviced the chrono module and got a reasonable result with minimal loss of amplitude when not running the chrono and about 30 degrees loss when running. Great. The problem is now that the chrono (and movement) stops running after about a minute or so, a tap on the watch starts it running again. No issues with the movement running when the chrono is stopped. Going to service it yet again, obviously some residual issues with friction in the chrono module (Very frustrating - I wish there was some way of testing it as I go!) I also seem to have a problem with the cannon pinion where the movement is running continuously (with the chrono stopped) but it's losing significant time / stopping. This is one of those two piece ETA style with a driving wheel pressed over the cannon pinion, obviously arranged for driving the chrono module. I had no issues with this prior to service and just added a small amount of grease between the driving wheel and the centre cannon pinion as the technical guide required. What's the best way of tightening these up? I would like to replace it but I guess this is going to be hard to find as it is dedicated to the DD chrono movement.

      Chinese tools debate

      He uses the micrometer cap, but he leaves the spring out (you can see that in the video). If you leave the spring in, the spindle will move up as well (as shown by @Knebo).

      Seems like he doesn't have the micrometer cap  attached to the spindle so he can only push down but cannot pull up? If the cap screws into the spindle I guess you don't need the spring? I only have a "normal" Seitz so I really have no idea.

      Lathe motor advice

      By Dell · Posted

      Yes in my opinion the 3/4HP is plenty but it’s your decision & yes it does come with speed control but foot operation so my reason for changing to potentiometer was because my leg shakes so it was like me revving the lathe & anyway I prefer to set the speed. I & a few others that I recommended the motor to run a Pultra 10mm lathe so if you have a 6 or 8mm B & L then it will be plenty, if you have seen any of my videos you will have seen that when using a graver I run quite slow without any problems.
