Iwc case problem, how to open ? Help needed plz..

[j_lind2009]

Hello I got this vintage square iwc watch but I can't really figure out how to open the back case? Don't want to bend and push to hard without knowing how the case is built.

Maybe some one knows ?



Best regards / M

It's most likely a snap-back case, meaning that the case-back will snap in and off to expose the movement. If you meat any resistance in this process than don't force the issue and take it to a jeweler but I would gently put a butter knife or something similar in the space between the case-back and the case body and gently work in between the two and then use a slow gentle prying motion.
