Fortis Colors battery change?
Anybody know how to change the battery on the Fortis Colors? I can't figure it out. Can't figure out what the caseback does. Don't want to damage it.

think it comes out of the mounting then you use a ball screw back remover I think but not a hundred percent sure on that ?

There is no tab to put a knife under and there is no slots for a caseback tool. I don't want to mess it up.
And of course I can't find my ball to try it.

got any pics if it is a pop back there should be a lip some where on it or some sign of a place for the knife to go ?

Rotation would be the safest first option , if it doesn't move then you know it's a snap back.
Find the ball
In the mean time, you could always whaz an email off to Fortis for instructions/opening advice.

Update:
So far I've taken the watch to 2 jewelers who can't figure out how to take the back off. This is getting comical now. I'm going to a watchmaker next week.

The good thing is that you are now the #1 Google entry for "fortis colors" caseback removal.
