How to remove the back cover of mechanical watch?

There are many ways to open and close the back cover of a watch, but the screw back cover and the pressed back cover are the most, followed by several screws to tighten the back cover. For the push-type back cover of watches, we only need some basic tools to open it, and only need to press it when restoring, which is the easiest to disassemble.

Many years ago, many people thought that a watch with only a screw back cover had better have a closed case, which was very airtight; Nowadays, there are more and more watches with back covers, which can also ensure the waterproof performance of watches in daily life.

The only thing that makes people dissatisfied is that once the watch is opened, both knives and axes will come in handy, which is more reluctant and scary. In addition, we must pay attention to the technique, and we must not damage the case. The residue of opening the cover is very unreliable, especially for watches with gold-plated or k-gold cases.

If conditions permit, you should also try to use professional meter opening tools. There is a watch opening device, which is roughly similar to a vise. As long as the watch stand on the child's wrist is aimed at the opening of the watch back cover, as long as the strength is well grasped, it is easy to open the watch back cover.

When the watch is closed, press the back cover and it will be in the correct position. There is usually a gap on the back cover. Which is to make way for the handle of the watch movement? If the alignment is not correct, the back cover will be pressed, so that the edge of the back cover will squeeze the handle shaft, which will lead to the watch handle not being used normally for debugging.

Even if there is no notch on the back cover, there are letters and logos exactly like the dial on the back cover. The upper part of the pattern letters on the back cover of the watch should correspond to the position of 12 on the dial. In addition, there is another way to open the back cover, which is also used to pry it open. Generally, it is commonly used in K-gold watchcases, and the position of the back cover is basically at the opening position of 12.

In addition to the requirements mentioned above, it is the position of the opening of the back cover of the watch. Most of the openings in the back cover will have an inclined plane, which is generally the best position to open the back cover of the watch. Usually located at 9 o'clock, some of them are located at the position of a watchcase claw, or at 12 o'clock at the opening of the watchcase. I feel that it is easier to open the watch at 9 o'clock, but it is the most inconvenient at the opening of the case. It's awkward to open the watch there, so it's difficult to cut the knife and there is no support point.

The knowledge about the function of the watch back cover gap may not be very common, but when we need to buy or repair the watch in the future, we have to pay attention to these details, so it is good to keep an eye on it.
