Does anybody know how to open the back of this watch? I was guessing it was screwed on, but I can't get it to move. If it is a screw back, any tips for a stuck back?

My watch repairman, a former watch inspector for N&W, had to use a special glue to attach a lever-like handle on the back of one of my watches in order to get it off. The reason was that a screw inside had backed out and was binding on the inside of the back. After the back was off there was a clean and simple way to get the glue to release.

The interesting thing about this repair was that he had kept records of all of the watches he had worked on and his mark was inscribed inside where he had worked on it when it belonged to my father in law!
