Watch back, pop off or screw off?
(that almost sounded like an insult. Wink )

The other day my father asked me to look at this watch of his, it needs a battery and he doesn't know how it comes apart. I thought... "I know who to ask!"

Some blurry cell pics.






The paperwork doesn't say. The back doesn't say.

I had one similar a long while back. My jeweler friend popped the back off. Seems he had a press for putting it back, too.




God bless America.

Walmart does it for free when you buy the battery. I had a Timex Expedition that was similar and the gal used some nifty little tool to pop it off.

It's a pop off case back. Don't try it yourself without the proper case opener tool unless you want to gouge the watch case.

Thanks gents. I assumed it was a pop off, but since there's not little "divot" like most have I was afraid to try.

I think I would rather screw off than pop off. JMHO
