And another quick question: do you know guys which is the movement type of the first watch?. It is a TAG Heuer Carrera Chrono Automatic Rep (chrono not functional).

 

Thanks mates!!

The movement is a regular cheap asian 21j. You can either buy a cheap case opener or use a ball of duct tape to open them with. I don't know where you are located but a case opener at Harbor Freight here in the US is only about $8.00.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I live in Southern California, in the Orange County, I will check Harbor Freight website to look for the case opener.

 

And thanks again for the movement answer, I was suspecting it was a cheap one because the rep costs me around 50 bucks he he, but wanted to confirm.

 

Cheers!

The crab claw will, the knife is for snap backs, mainly found on quartz.

If you look in the RWG shop

https://shop.homage-watches-guide.com/

you will find that crab claw, as well as Jaxa style openers, and the multi point tool....all of which will do the job on that watch.

You will however find the crab claw has limited useage, and wont open a Rolex and some Panerai, and other brands, and need either the Jaxa or multi to do the job properly.

The Jaxa style is what I meant. It has three adjustable teeth instead of two and has about 4 different sets of teeth for it.
