I bought this Bergeon 8008 rubber ball. Works a treat! With a flashlight and my loupe, I determined that the movement is a France Ebauches 140-1. Now I have a picture of the movement that I took myself.

I bought this many years ago with the Chinamen and it is a copy of a Bergeron tool for a China price. I mostly get a watch open with this.It has a X large size for dive watches, a little bit difficult for 20 mm ladies watches sometimes...

Yep, I have one of those. But this is the case back of the Verni. You can see where someone before me chewed up the case back already: |

There are also bouncy juggling balls that will open a watch. Likely half the price. I bought a blue case open ball from Micro-Tools 15 years ago and it's my go-to for any non-Russian screw back.

I had one of those blue balls! (heh heh heh  ) It deflated and I don't have a pin for sportballs because I'm sportally retarded. |
