Quick change spring bars on these high-end watches are a must, you do not want to scratch the back of your lugs with some metal tool...

Lucky you, I broke a screwdriver while working on an old pocket watch movement some time ago, the watchmaker who previously worked on it had turned the screws so tight that my screwdriver head broke off at the tip and I ruined the Geneva stripes on the gear train bridge... fortunately for me the movement was just for training purposes and did not belong to anyone.
