Just got this watch, and for the life of me, I can't crack the case. Tried multiple wrenches, but it won' budge. There does seem to be some gasket but it's not even. oping it's not x thread, but does look it.
Anyone familiar with this case.... Case Serial # is 1-274019.
thanks in advance

I got a cheap one (~$70) off of Aliexpress and it works very well for those difficult to open cases that a rubber ball or jaxa style opener can't open.

This case has a large surface gasket that broke clean from the back, but I guess was doing a really great job of holding the back tight.
