I first started on my cheapies for practice and will move on the more expensive ones. No more trips to the AD. No more waiting and saving money in the process.

****Wow. You got some good tooling. No question they will pay for themselves in time plus you also get the satisfaction of doing the work yourself. Please be aware some watches have a protocol regarding unsealing/re-sealing for the purpose of maintaining water/humidity resistance, etc..
Sometimes the case or cover has a small silicone or viton o-ring/gasket that may need to be lubricated/sealed - others it is just press fit and no gasket. Below is a pic of what I use when it is needed. Just FYI.
