Rolex Servicing

Viewing the Rolex Servicing promo video, I was slightly concerned by what appears to be a technician, 'grabbing' a dial with a pair of steel tweezers....GULP!!!

Oh boy, definitely wasn't taught to use those tweezers for holding a dial...

Even though the tips are highly polished on the inside and the risk of scratching the dial is low I'd prefer wooden tip tweezers or just your fingers with new finger condoms.
