 Some Pierce automatic watches were powered by linear bumper selfwinding complication, I have a chance to buy this ( see photo in link below )  seller has no tool to open the back to show the movement.

Does anybody know whats ticking inside this watch?

Thanks for all the help mates. 

Don't know what would have done without your help.🤣

 Obviously movements of all brand were put in Pierce. 

Linear bumper automatic is rare, and almost impossible to find spare parts for. 

See linear bumper automatic, in watchforum.com link above.

Thanks for your response.

I know they used that type years ago and are rare and unique as are Pierce chronographs, but they were not 25 jewel movements, the watch you show for sale is new than the linear in my opinion....good luck either way

    • I have no experience with this watch, but looking at the pictures from the ebay listing linked above, it looks like the outer metal bezel at the back of the watch may not be part of the case proper.  It looks like the watch and strap are sandwiched together, and an inner case may push out of the rear bezel towards the front of the watch.  A case style similar to the Roamer watches where the crystal, movement and caseback pushed out through the back of an outer bezel, only in reverse - this one may push out towards the front.  To test this, you would need to hold the watch, dial down, supporting the dial side of the watch around the edge of the bezel without touching the bezel itself. Then push down carefully on the inner metal ring you can see at the back of the watch. I’m speculating here, proceed at your own risk. Hopefully someone with hands on experience of these watches can chime in! Best Regards, Mark
    • Thanks, Mark. That's the kind of reassurance many of us wanted to hear! Yes, life is unfortunately unpredictable, and it would be a shame if the many dedicated WRT: ers became stranded if, god forbid, something happened to you and WRT stopped working.
    • The case back is perfectly aligned to the case and has no provisions for a screwing tool. The T-Sport series has snap on backs.
    • For me the text looks too aligned and with no obvious way to grip as a screw back.
    • There’s no indents & there’s no little groove to pry it off anywhere! So I don’t know if it’s screw down or pry off 👍
