Do not use a wood toothpick! I used to use them until I took the bracelet off to confirm my serial number. The pin on one side of the spring bar was stuck in the spring bar. I used a dental pick to try and release it and found wood fibers (under magnification) holding the pin inside the spring bar. My vintage watch was being held on my wrist by one pin! Luckily, I had an extra Rolex Spring Bar and replaced it.
