Quartz Watches and Batteries

If there is no comment in the last column, that means that watch was not difficult to open! Screwed case backs are almost never a problem with a good opener. The Bergeon 5700Z for screwed case backs stands as one expensive and professional option, a less expensive JAXA or similar opener are equally suited. Please see my case opener overview (opens new window) table to see common openers for screwed case backs.
Snap-on case backs can be difficult to open without leaving opening marks! My favorite opener is this
Bergeon opener (will open new window). If I used other tools or tricks, it is noted on the right most column
