So, I bought a cheap watch repair kit from the amazon to finally try and swap out the battery on an old invicta I have. I think I have to give in and take it somewhere. A vice, the backing tool and a pipe wrench were not sufficient. Tool in Vice, Pipe wrench on watch. No, I cannot have nice things. It just slips out of the small slot ☹ Or just hurts my had which is why I went to the vice. (and the shittly plastic vice that came in the kit does not fit my 46mm dinner plate) ---
