No, you don't need tape as the springbar will never touch the case. Get a case cushion too, it's makes the job 100 times easier as you need have the endlink pressed firmly into the case cushion which means holding the watch head at a 45° angle as you compress the springbar.

The FF forks (the finest available) don't fit Rolex unless you file them down, so no, I wouldn't say it's better

I bought he bullet and bought the 7825 for $170 - we'll see if it's any easier.
I hope it is, but probably not.

And I mean, mis handle the tweezer and the pin pops out and flies across the room into a shag carpet type of pain in the neck.
Get a case cushion. The small amount of give in the case cushion lets you position and hold the endlink correctly.
