I can tell you these tools from Harbor Freight are pretty bad, but will get the job done if you have nothing else. The press itself is literally a pain to use, and I'll probably just use the pads in a vice next time. The other tool kit I bought for just the opener, again not the greatest.

Tools came in yesterday, a bit of swearing and figuring out which way the pins go in/out and done!
A little loose on the wrist but any more link removals and it’s too tight so I had to put one back in.

No micro adjust in the clasp?
No clue. Didn’t know such a thing existed.
EDIT: doesn’t appear to be any way to do a micro adjustment on the clasp.

Normally one end of the clasp has a row of three holes to allow different pin locations.
Far from high horology, but it's a watch. Picked up a luminox on a whim as I got a good deal on it. I don't love it. If anyone wants a good deal on a BNIB Luminox shoot me an offer.

The carbon compound cased LumiNox watches equate to the recycled six pack ring cases of the Moonswatches to me. Their steel cased watches look a lot better.
I agree. On the plus side, it's really light. If you were doing something that took a lot of effort and really wanted a watch (long distance run, mounting climbing, etc) it may be a fine option. Not for their crazy asking price though.

Might have to look into the G Shock, since I don't want an iWatch product.
Was reading about those recently. Nice watches, but apparently the app is horrendous.Casio Upgrades Its First G-Shock Digital Watch With Heart Rate Monitoring and Fitness Tracking

Check out this steaming pile. I guess this is what rappers and basketball players wore before Richard Mille came around.

That is a sweet watch. Good job!My Seiko SRPD Rootbeer is finally done! Also got all my parts to fix my SKX Pepsi, but I'll save that until tomorrow.
Is there a tool easy to find or something somewhat common in the toolbox that’ll work to get the back off this so that I can change the battery? I don’t frequent watch/jewellery stores so would like to do it myself if possible.
You can get caseback opening tools on Amazon relatively inexpensive.

As fmj said, the tool is cheap. I would get the ball. A piece of drawer liner and a brass punch probably open it if you really want to use what you have.

If you're desperate open up a pair of needle nose pliers wide enough to catch a couple of those indents and turn. Just might work.
Won’t work well, and it’ll scratch the back…ask me how I know.
@Hardwrkr13 you’re welcome to use my set, but I think you live quite far from Mississauga.
I'm going to be reasonably near him this weekend. I can bring one with me if he wants to meet up.
