I was told this was a 1971 1601

Turns out from the serial number thanks to a member here it's a 1967. Interesting. For me anyway lol

I can't remove the case back. I bought a tool, but it doesn't work and no jeweller's will touch it, even two ADs.

Still 1967 but in the future, please dont use that serial number list, so inaccurate overall. Use this one instead:

There's no real need for you to open it. But if it's important to you, try a real watchmaker, they will pop it right open. Or buy a good tool (with a press) and learn how to use it using YouTube videos.
