THe back snaps on. The back has that little bit of curve/radius at the edge - the very first seam where that radius runs into the side is the entry point (I hope that is clear). It is a very good fit (I have one of those around here, hard to give up on a perfect case with no movement) - you will want to take a fairly sharp knife, sometimes even a razor blade/knife, and push straight in with the blade parralell to the seam. The object of a case knife is
not to get in the "crack" and then pry - proper methodology is to think of the case knife (or razor blade) like a wedge. Pushing straight in, with a good grip on everything, will rarely cause the knife to jump and scratch you or the watch. Look around that seam for the what appears to be the best starting point, push, rotate 10-15 degress and push again. At some point it will give
suddenly - maintain focus, this is where you stab yourself otherwise (which is why you don't pry).
