Hi Tom,
After many years of storage it sounds like the gasket that
fits inside the back cover has deteriorated and has now
seized itself onto the watch. This would explain the difficulty
of removing the back.
When you do take your Caravelle into servicing,also
ask to retest the watch for water resistancy. This would
insure many more years of enjoyment.
Another nice timepiece with even more historical value.
Cheers,
Simon
Thanks for the note about waterproofing. Even though it just has a push-in crown, it forded rivers and survived months of monsoons without the slightest hiccup.
