How to Open any Watch

Snap in case back, screw in case back, got a watch case back you don't know how to open? This is the one video for you! In this video, we'll detail how to open all types of standard watch case backs on the market today, including snap in case back, screw in case back, and case back with screws, and also how to properly close these case backs with proper tools, like a watch press.

After going through this guide, you'll know how to open every watch on the market, from your basic quartz watch to your dive watch (even Rolex if you're rich)

If you have a special case back you can't open, let me know in the comments below and I'll make sure to make a guide on it in the near future!

P.S. Just a heads up, you won't see any live footage on Rolex because I'm too poor to afford an actual Rolex. If any of you are generous (and wealthy) enough to lend out a Rolex my way I'd be more than glad to produce a detailed guide on it wink wink
