How to dismantle a 5513 without care.

I agree Stav.

One screwdriver fits all?
It's not just normal wear and tear that make some of these old Rolex watches look second hand.
Looked like amateur hour to me.

That piece was likely loosened before he went nuts. It came apart like velcro

I hope he has plans for full service and deep cleaning the way he's handling that movement and case. Oil from his hands is getting all over that thing.
