Milgauss's inner case size

Hi all,

I recently got some watch tools and was messing around opening casebacks of my watches and looking/taking pics of the movements. But for the milgauss does anyone know what size opener I will need? The largest one I have is 29.5mm (which basically opens all rolexes)

Thanks!

To clarify the opener for the inner "soft iron" caseback

29.5mm opens both inner, and outer case backs.. but be careful, the inner case back holds the movement in place.. the movement can shift , resulting in damage to the dial if you are not aware.

Mmm I’ll give it a try tonight, at first glance it didn’t look like it’ll fit over but I’ll try when I’m home, now slightly worried as if it doesn’t it may be a franken or fake..

Whew, fears averted its genuine and yes same 29.5mm tool used to open the outer case can also open the soft iron inner case. A quick and sexy pic of the blue-z and its innards.
