·If you had started like this, you would have received a warmer welcome and more engagement with your thread. That's why I suggested an introduction. Don't hold back, keep it coming.
If you can show photos of the inside, you will get more detailed information.

·If I don't have a press, how hard is it to press the back on? I am a guy who has rebuilt CNC spindles, so I understand the tolerances and all, but do not want to screw up a really nice thing.

·Did you remove the back on one of them? I almost never bother with a press to install the back. Often you can just press the back on with your thumbs, and it will just pop in. If it's tight and you don't have a press, you can sandwich the watch between foam on top and bottom, and use a flat piece of steel (or the handle of a large crescent wrench) to apply light force more uniformly.
Of course, some of your watches have screw-backs, but that's probably obvious.
