I also use these ones from ebay seller tog_man, but it looks like he doesn't have them available on his site for Speedmaster at the moment

Thanks a lot to you all. That really helps.

Just wrote an email to Paul, I guess his tool could be perfect...

I asked a friend to print me this caseback opener on a 3D Printer.
It worked perfectly! and it is out of plastic so i guess less danger to scratch the caseback.

I have tried 3D print too and yes, in many cases it will do the job, but have the caseback been tighten too much or the gasket startet to melt and turned into glue, the teeth will either slip or snap....

Why not ? I am not sure, if the right one is a 145.012, that's one reason, why I need a case opener... 😀

@ex-rolex absolutely stunning mate. You’ll be very pleased with the opener from @Pahawi great stuff.

Is that an original bracelet to boot? I love the Holitzer style 👍
