Hmm, well. I have looked at these for a while and bought one, the Bergeon 8008 like the one in the video. Tried it so far on 4 watches and the ball did not open a single caseback. I don't think these casebacks was particurlary tight either but will try further with maybe pumping up tha ball a bit more.
yeah they're rather tight. as a jeweler who has used these a few times and is trying to get into watch making they've been amazing tools. this doesnt' replace your tri prong opener, but it'll definitely help for things you couldn't otherwise get with a standard case back opener (IE diesel / large invictas)
Thanks! Your video really helped me to understand how to use the ball. Your explanations were great!
tried mine on all 12 of my watches and it DOES not work
It does 🤷🏻♂️

What does the front of the watch look like, and what is its model number. I think this might be the same watch as my grandfather's seiko.
Thanks for your question! No, it’s not a Seiko. It’s a Swiss watch from the 70s named Candino and it houses an ETA 2772.
Seems like its not a good idea to get one according to the previous comments 😕
I cant get the one I bought to work at all
Tried on all of my watches, worked on none of them! Had to stop after damaging the leather strap... This ball is scam.
