Bezel removal tool

Hello,

What tool do Rolex service centers use for bezel removal?
Is it something of the sort shown in this link:
https://momentum-dubai.com/products/...-tool-ref-1009

The reason I'm asking is because with such a tool your almost certainly going to get the watch scratched from the blades moving against the case.

Yes that is the tool used for crystal retainer rings and bezels that hold the crystal.

It does scratch the case slightly, but only underneath the bezel where you cannot see it when the watch is assembled.

Thanks for your input!
I'm surprised to hear that.

I wonder why they don't just use something like that:

Because these type of tools only work with easy to remove rotatable bezels, not the ones that you use the Rolex tool for.

Very insightful as always! Thanks for your input.
I wonder if someone tried making a similar tool with hard plastic blades (nylon etc...) instead of metal ones.

Hola, saludos, la primera vez que escribo.
Aunque si que es cierto que esa herramienta es para sacar los biseles de Rolex, pero no es la herramienta que se usa para levantar los biseles giratorios.
