An authentic Rolex will have a screw down back with exactly 144 small teeth. You can only open a Rolex case with a special Rolex tool (Key). We use the Bergeon hand wrench to open Rolex cases. Supplied with 6 Bergeon grooved chucks(18.50, 20.20, 22.50, 26.50, 28.30 and 29.50 mm), these are the same chuck used in the Bergeon 5700RO and will fit in the Bergeon Bit Adpater for 5700-Z Case Opener our number FB-231. Replacement chucks and replacement handle are available in case you have a set that is missing a piece. As is the case with any fine mechanical instrument, special tools are required in order to properly service and adjust a precision instrument such as a fine timepiece. If you are not experienced, it is better to leave this to a Certified Rolex tech. If you do feel you want to proceed, this tool will set you back about $140.00 or so. Just as the internal parts of the Rolex are exact, so is the watch case that protect the valuable watch movement. These tools are used to open the Rolex case without causing expensive damage. You can call Bob Frei at 510-832-0355 ext. 2 from 11 AM to 5 PM Pacific Time Zone, to order one if you wish, or several other sellers of these fine tools can be found by doing a little research on the net. Hope this has helped you.

I would not recommend you attempting to try this at home, because you can severly damage your watch, but if you must, you will find that on the back of your watch relatively near the crown is a dimpled, small metal piece. Take a tweezer and push it in LIGHTLY while pulling out the crown.

SOURCE: what to do with watch repair kit

Unless the watch back has notches on it, you want to look around the edge of the watch and find a little lip. When you find the lipp, use one of the knives and pry open the back. Take one of the tweezers and pull out the battery, you could also use one of those handy-dandy screwdrivers to pry out the battery. Put the new battery in laying exactly like the old one , then proceed to close the back, making sure that the little notch (on the INSIDE lip of the back case) lines up with the stem and crown (the part used for setting the watch) so not to break it. The back openers and the knives are just differant ways to opn the back of the watch. Sometimes watches have screws on the back that need to be taken off in order to open the back case. The case vise is to minumize the wear and tear on your hands. The tweezers are for taking out the battery. If you have anymore questions PLEASE feel free to contact me I will be glad to assist you further! Good Luck!!!

does it have a slot on the back ? usually Nike watches are made to easily replace the battery usually with a nickle slot on the back or screws on the corners. The batteries they have are usually common 2806 or similar coin sized batteries. It will say on the back of the battery .

Most jewelry or watch repair shops can easily replace these batteries. if you bought the watch within a year , have receipt and something is broken. You can send it back to nike to be repair for free. It is done by parsec located here http://www.nikewatchrepair.com/.

SOURCE: still can't open my ann

The only solution is to dispose of it or fork over money for someone else to open it. I chose to pitch it and never purchase another AK watch again. pas
