Subject: RE: BS: Old Pocket Watches
And the back of old open face watches unscrew by turning right to get to the lever for time adjustments, don't pry .. can't tell you how many of them I seen with the case all screwed up from someone trying to pry them open ... closed face watchs there is a small bulge on the back for opening with your thumbnail but open face watches the back unscrews ... it is so sad to see a watch that survived over a hundred years with the case all destroyed from trying to pry when it should be unscrewed
