Waspy 306 Posted March 20, 2018 21 hours ago, Leslie said: I could not open this watch (Weekdater) since three years ago. I failed again yesterday. Even the super glue with a nut/bolt method does not work (the nut fell off when the spanner turned). I guess the rust/salt had eaten the track/thread too much. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Are you sure that it is threaded and not a snap back? I have seen and had one that the case back leads you to believe it screws off only to later discover it is a snap back case. Perhaps work an exacto knife between the back and case and see . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I forgot to add, I once had a Poljot Chrono with the same problem, it was a chrome case. Anyway, I bought it with a new case thrown in, the previous owner had smashed the s**t out of it trying to get the back off. I took it to a professional watchmaker, he changed the cases in minutes, cost me 6 quid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This stuff is amazing, for me, this stuff has beat the competition hands down every time! http://www.kanolabs.com/ Kroil penetrating Oil. To avoid possible seepage into the case I would position the watch on edge so that the run off does just that and not eventually find its way to the movement and dial.

I can promise you that with my method the back will come off, if you can find it or anything else of the watch is another question! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
