Older Rolex's with single flange spring bars work best if they use a small v-fork tool. There so many variables and there is no perfect tool for every watch.

Hell in all honesty patience, steady hands, head mounted magnifier, tape (if your steadiness sucks like mine does) and a decent tool works the best. Not mention a shot of whiskey.
Thanks for the reply. What would you recommend for modern Rolex no holes case?

I agree with all your said about patience, steady hands etc. Shot of whiskey I'll pass on that but I do see how it may be of some help.
