LG Openall Case Opener is the best tool for the price.

If you want to really go high end Bergeon but unless you are a watchmaker I would say the LG Openall Case Opener will be all you need and more.

This thread lead to a real moment for me.
Whenever I've bought a new watch I've always paid an expert to open it up to check the correct movement is inside. Now I've seen that the LG OpenAll is only $70, I realise I could have saved loads.

Oh well, live & learn. Guess what I'll be buying next?!
