What it isSomething that holds the work
Bench jobOpening and closing a case

This 75 mm disc supports a watch case while you work a case opener or uncase a movement. The transparent gel yields beneath the bezel and crystal. It settles under flat or curved glasses so the watch sits flat on the bench.

The soft gel surface

The transparent gel top gives under downward force. It shapes itself around high-domed crystals and stepped bezels so the case does not rock while you apply a wrench to the back.

Work across 75 mm

The 75 mm face gives you room to seat larger wristwatches and pocket watch cases. The wide base keeps the piece stable when you press down with a hand tool or case knife.

Opening and uncasing

You set the watch face down into the gel when taking off screw backs or easing out stem tubes. It holds the assembly steady while you lift the movement clear of the case ring.

Care at the bench

Dust and brass filings will settle on the clear surface over time. Rinse the gel pad with clean water and let it dry on the peg board before setting another case down on it.

A note that touches this tool

Opening a stubborn case back

Snap backs against screw backs against monobloc cases, how a case key and its dies engage a fluted rim, why the case is held in a holder rather than in the hand, and what to do when the back has been opened badly before.
