Soak it in coca-cola for couple of hours.
No the whole watch of course but for the deep of case back.
It worked for seized spark plugs in car engine.
Free watch to whomever can get this open

Re: Free watch to whomever can get this open
Some great suggestions given, but none worked for me. Ultimately I found that a hammer to the crystal really made me feel better….and succeeded in opening the watch.
Gave up and hope to never come across another watch like that one.

So, ultimately, opening it up did cost you a watch.watchpalooza wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 8:52 am Some great suggestions given, but none worked for me. Ultimately I found that a hammer to the crystal really made me feel better….and succeeded in opening the watch.

I wish that watch were 38mm?
