–Imitation Bergeon 5700 caseback opener came. Doesn’t seem to be centered, which is kind of critical. I looked up Bergeon to see if it had adjustable centering; it doesn’t. It must come perfectly aligned. [Edit] I discovered that if I leave some lateral play in the top and bottom chucks, it works. I strongly suspect Bergeon leaves play as well; they don’t build to the necessary tolerances.
