Need Help with NTTD 300m Case Back

Recommended Posts

beatleboylevi

I recently shipped my NTTD 300m Seamaster to be repaired. The watch works great now. The only issue is the case back isn't straight. 

Since it doesn't have the notches like the PO I'm not sure how I would unscrew it. 

 

Any tips? I'm looking to get this fixed asap! 

 

Thanks!

Rubber ball or a ball of tape.

As tribefan said, rubber ball is often the go to approach.

Maybe skip the stage where he rubs his naked fingers all over the inside of the watch and the caseback seal. 
Definitely never use scissors.

This tool is working well for many watches, perfect for the seamaster caseback

Never had any scratches with these tool, i used it for gen even, mostly Omega, breitling

I think it's better than rubber ball expecialy when it come to close the case, The rubber ball won't close it so well

Hey all,

 

Thanks for the help on this. I actually need to replace the movement inside. Does anyone know the movement inside the VFS NTTD 300M? 

 

I'm thinking it's an eta 2824 but I want to make sure. Also - how much should I spend for a reliable one? (Never had to get a replacement movement until now.

 

Thanks!
