I bought the stupid press and it’s garbage. I was ready to put a hammer to the back of my watch until I found your video and IT WORKED 🎊 Oh my goodness! I’m so happy! Thank you 🙏 thank you

What do you tow with the mower than needs a ball hitch?

Omg I finally fixed my watch, thank you!! My watch fell on the tile floor and the back popped off, but I couldn’t get the back, back on it. Finally worked with a metal wrench, I was hammering the back of it and everything 😂

That is way to thin and that weld is not strong enough to tow more then 100 lbs (beauty has a lot to do with welds when it comes with penetration and strength) do not tow anything that you are not willing to lose if you can not stand on it with out moving and bending it is not strong enough. Sorry for being mean I am trying to save you a headache in the future.

Instead newspapaer use a towel. It works. Thanks

Thank you!

Well broke mine what a stupid design

No matter what i do it wont go on

This technique closed my beautiful SKAGEN back cover back on after I couldn't get the cover back on for 3 months ... my wrist is styling once again. Thanks man!!!!

Thanks for the video. In case anyone who still has trouble even after following the video, here are a few things to note: My watch case was extra stubborn, so much so that I pressed so hard that I had broken capillaries on my palm. My mistake was that I had the watch on a mouse pad. It must've dampened the pressure resulting in failure to snap the case. Secondly, I had to rock the pressure a little side to side. These two changes got my case to successfully snap close. Exercise proper judgement for your watch, as these tips may do more harm to your watch than not.

Thank you for sharing this.

He don’t have time to make a video but he’s making a vid 🫨

Gosh, I have tried and tried and tried. 😩 Why can't I get it?

Genius! Worked! Thanks!

Great tool to use. After struggling for 15 minutes, I grabbed the wrench and got it on in seconds. Thanks for posting!

This didn't work for me

Thanks for your video and insights.

Just cracked my glass. So much for this method

Life saver!

I tried similar ways so I thought I did something wrong since it refuses to close, so I looked up some tutorials but all of them does the same. I can't for the love of god get it to close and I press so hard it feels like the glass is going to crack. It feels like the cover got too big all of a sudden after I opened it. Damn it.

Anyone try putting the back in the freezer and warm up the watch a little first?

Thanks for the video. However I tried and still can't close the back cover, it just won't snap back in. Any other method or hint? Thanks.

Didn’t work

F*ck off you absolute toss pot, you owe me £280 you useless bast@rd, dont listen to anything this guy says just smashed all my watch face in

still helping 8 years later😁😁.. I was struggling too until I saw this... I was amazed at how little pressure it took.. I was afraid of breaking the glass too so I tried just a little pressure. grateful. If I did have a glass that wasn't flat I could have made a a dip in the surface I was pressing against... in the end it was so quick and easy. 👍👍

Legend! Been struggling away for half an hour before seeing this. Cheers.

I did this and put all my body weight on it and it still wouldn’t budge. I have been trying for an hour trying with different objects I’m laughing at how this stupid back cover beat me

If the watch crystal is domed or in any proud of the watch case, the chances are you will crack the crystal. Ok if the watch is flat fronted.

I watched a bunch of different verisons, didnt work. This method worked great. Thanks

works! - I had the same issue with a Skagen watch

Thanks, I just broke my glass. Threw away my watch

thanks 🙏

Phew. Thank you. Rescued me

you saved my life!! thanks so much for this video!!

Thanks, only this tutorial works for me. 👌

YOU are the lifesaver! My old Casio watch was just wasting away uncovered for 2 years and now I finally was able to cover it back after 15 secs watching your video, thank you very much!!

Thanks for this video. It was really helpful. Especially for a Omega De Ville watch case that has this kind of case back. By the way is it common for this snap on case back to have a gasket ? My Omega has one.

So simple and so genius!

Don't recommend smashed my watch face. Fortunately a cheap one 👎

Even went and got the wrench out and it still didn't work 😭

Thanks

Thank you buddy. I put a tea towel down first, and folded kitchen paper towel on the back and pressed and it worked.

THANK YOU!! Swapped a battery on an eBay find and I thought I had a mismatched case/back. No idea they could take that pressure!

Thank you soooo much. Just got the back of my Skagen on easy peasy thanks to you 👍👍👍

I'm literally putting all my body weight to my Casio and it won't close using that method

Pretty dangerous method with curved or elevated glass or crystal. BEWARE! Prefer using a propper watch press.

Did as in photo but smashed the glass😢

Wow this helped me so much, 2023

Thank you. This worked for me with the flat side of a level...I was going crazy trying to get it back on.
