difficulty getting the case back to open

Post by baitiansi » 05 Dec 2014 00:01

got a 2 year old vostok-europe anchar PVD type (all black)
trying to get the case back open to confirm the calibre
manual states a seiko N something somethiing cablire
reason for opening the case back is for servicing
using 3 prong type but still can't get the b#@!&rd to turn
back is those usual circles thingy
anyone has a good idea how i can get it open?
would hate to bring it to the watch-makers only to have it returned in a worst condition
am really trying hard to not bring it to red-army hence this post..

anyone?

A good or even normal watch maker usually has the steering wheel type of opener with different adaptor for different case back.

This is mechanically far superior to the prong or ball or whichever type u hold with 1 hand n other hand holding watch.

Tightens evenly and loosen evenly so chances of cross threading is much reduced.
