With Rolex you are best served using a special tool as a normal spring bar tool will not work.

or

There are cheaper alternatives, but I don't know much about them.

Lastly, for the screws in the links you'll need a special flathead screw driver. A standard precision flathead screwdriver is too thin and can badly mar the screws.

Or find a Rolex 2100 screwdriver if you can.

An AD should still be able to do it for you very quickly if you change your mind! So you always have that to fall back on.
