Customer Reviews

Very good tool
It's surprising what a nice wood case and well-built tool you get for the price. The box is held closed magnetically. To keep the extra pins in place you will want to put a little cloth or something over them before closing the case.

I've been wanting to open my watch for a while. Somehow the jeweler I took it to couldn't open it. A watch repair guy wanted a ridiculous amount of money just to open it (still baffling me). I opened it within a few minutes of taking this tool out of the box.

Fairly simple process. As another reviewer mentioned, the pins need to be fully inserted into the tool. It comes with variously shaped pins to match different watches. I picked the three that have a squarish tip. You align these three pins with three of the six notches around the edge of the back plate. Adjustment to fit the watch is smooth and easy. With the pins sitting in the notches, you can unscrew it like a jar lid. I found I needed to hold the watch against my carpet floor to start. Very simple but very hard to do without the precise fitting of this tool. I found it very helpful for putting the back plate back on too, because it's otherwise hard to hold the plate on, flat, and aligned while screwing it in. Using the tool gives enough control to do it gently and carefully without scratching it or cross-threading (go slow and careful, though). The instructions were not especially helpful, but not really necessary either. It's not much more complicated than using a socket set or a crescent wrench.

Have a paper towel when you open it, because it comes lightly oiled in its plastic bag. I recommend opening your watch in a place where any tiny pieces falling out won't get lost.

I will need to find a replacement gasket for my watch. The one that came out has expanded.

Works as advertised
This tool is solidly constructed. It comes with an assortment of attachments and adjustable configurations for different types or brands of watches. It comes wrapped in a sturdy protective wooden box. The tool was a little greasy / oily when I received it in the mail which I found to be a little unusual, but understandable from a preservation perspective. It's a good tool. Get this one!

Not perfect, but worth $14.
I can't give it 5 stars, it's not perfect.

I have a lot of watch tools, and this is a nice one. The case is nice, and it works as it should.

But, again, it's not perfect. The pins don't stay in, making it harder to use (you have to use it upside down, and the pins don't lock in). And there should be instructions for those who don't know exactly how to use it. The little half-sheet that is included is all but useless.

But it's a great deal for the price. Easily opens the notch-back cases I use it on.
