Just curious if you knew much of the history.
I don't think there were any Rolex dealers in the USA until the 1950's.
Most of the bubblebacks I have found came from military personnel that were there during WWII or the Germany occupation.

Yes, you would need a specific wrench to open the case back, or the teeth on back will get stripped.
