116710BLNR Batman Spring Bar Tool?

Folks, what is the best spring bar tool to remove the bracelet and put it back again? This is for the older Rolex Batman that was launched in 2013. I assume this question has the same answer for all Rolex watches in that size category.

I know the tweezers are an option but heard mixed reviews there. I've taken off a lot of spring bars from other brands and am comfortable just taping up the watch and doing it with a single forked tool, but would like to know what size is best.

I currently use my 6767-F to do the trick but it's not the right fit.

Thanks in advance!

To remove the spring bars on my "Holes" case watches I just use the 6767-F like you do. However on "No Holes" cases, or to reinstall I use the Bergeon 6825. Use it on all my watches. You can use different "Forks" available for these pliers for different watches. Apply Two Layers of Mylar Tape to the lugs when using the 6825 to reinstall the spring bars to prevent scratches.

For removal, I use the Bergeon 7825 (tweezer 2nd from the top). It comes with 1.00mm extra fine tips.

For install, I do it old school by pushing spring bars in one side at a time using the 6767F (bottom most).

I push it using the pin side by depressing the shoulders within the channel. You can do it with the forks on the 7825 as well.
