You can add Seamaster 300 - 2913 to the list

You should have added Reference 2913 when I started this thread!😁

Guys, I don't think the 2913 should be added to the list. The caseback is higher/deeper than the later SM300 references and the tool doesn't reach the slots fully. Hence the tool is tipping a bit on top of the caseback and I for one wouldn't use it on a tight caseback at all. Just my observations.

But on the later references, Paul's tool works like a charm and I love it 😀

Excellent view of the depth difference in the 2913 vs 14755/165014 caseback.

That being said, using Paul’s opener on a 2913 caseback works if the Caseback is not TIGHT. As the opener is a softer metal (brass?) then the steel caseback, I believe the only risk is premature wear to the teeth of the opener.

Dynamic….not to open the case (tool 107!) but to remove the ring to change the strap/bracelet

Mine just arrived, quicker than expected (Thanks, Paul) and really a nice tool. So much better than my standard Jaxa 3 prong opener, I shouldnt have waited this long to get one.

Interesting!
Is there some kind of list of the references it can be used for?
Thanks!

The first post in this thread states:
Best of all, it not only fits Speedie Moonwatches but lines up with Seamasters as well. SM 300, 2913, 165.024 and even the smaller SM 120, 165.027 all open safely, scratch free, with this tool. Highly recommended! Much better and safer than the cheap, adjustable variety.

Yesterday, I received @Pahawi 's Speedie Caseback Opener and I am very impressed with it. Solid brass, 6 exact points of contact, 6 oz. in weight. It even has a through hole to insert a screwdriver should you need extra torque.

Best of all, it not only fits Speedie Moonwatches but lines up with Seamasters as well. SM 300, 2913, 165.024 and even the smaller SM 120, 165.027 all open safely, scratch free, with this tool. Highly recommended! Much better and safer than the cheap, adjustable variety.

cool stuff, i need one!

If it hasn't already been added somewhere, the Pahawi opener worked a treat on my vintage Doxa Sub 300T Searambler case-back. I still used a bit of protective plastic to allow for the slight brass overhang.
Never ceases to amaze me with the ongoing use I get from this tool - thanks again @Pahawi 👍
