    Oh this helped me a lot. I was given a special pocket watch as a birthday gift and I love using it. Inneviatbly the battery gave out and I had to try to figure out how to replace it on my own. Granted, I don't have the fancy tools but this gave me an idea on how to open my watch better by using the plastic wrap in the beginning. And luckily, I was able to do so without damaging it. Thanks a lot.

    Thanks so much - we couldn't find the little notch, but just knowing how much effort to flip the back open, worked perfectly and the pocket watch now has a new batter in it!

    thank you for making this it helped me a lot. I was worried that to get the battery changed on the watch my girlfriend got me would cost me a fortune because I did not know how to do it and I thought I would have to take it in.

    I'm surprised at all the enthusiastic reviews yes yes there is technique but there's no explanation about how to find the proper place to use the tool or anything like that and at 1:31 there is a video cut away edit, suspect as well there is lot of time of the tek moving the watch around in his hand? I i believe just to make the video longer, the technique of using protection so the watches and scratch is good

    you can tell it is a cheap watch because the stem should be at 12:00 instead of 3:00.
    china does not seem to know that 12 o'clock belongs straight up not 90 degrees off to the right.

    • @jamesbridgman5223
      @jamesbridgman5223 4 роки тому +7

      Cheap watch, perhaps, but nothing to do with the stem location. You do know that sidewinder pocket watches were around long before wrist watches right?

      I don't know if it helps but I was able to open mine with a mini flathead screwdriver. I made sure to use the plastic wrap like shown in the video so I wouldn't damage the side. You can find the compact screwdrivers anywhere from what I've seen and they are pretty cheap.
