If you have a Harbor Freight in your are this might be a bargain should you need one. Having ruined two watches trying to replace the back I wish I had known this earlier. $13.99

Great tip!

That's the very one I use, and it definitely comes in handy.

For the uninitiated, these can also be used as a crystal press and bezel press. I’ve used my cheapo eBay version for all of those use cases with success.

And speaking of Harbor Freight, I have been kicking myself for not picking this up last time I was there:
