Jim,

I agree with Pax, Keep It Simple, invest in a couple GOOD screwdrivers...cheap ones will cause you more problems than they are worth.

This is something I use for bracelet sizing with push pins....for the money it comes with everything you need..

And a tip when removing screws, especially when changing straps....cover the screw with a piece of masking tape and push the screwdriver through the tape to remove the screw....if the screwdriver slips you will hot the tape and not the case....saves on scratch repairs.

And finally TAKE YOUR TIME, don't rush it...if you think another pair of hands will help...get them...whenever the bracelet links have two screws I always employ my wife to hold one side while I loosen the other.....one slip otherwise and you will be ticked off.

Personally I'm not concerned about keeping the watches wound...it is really only a convenience so you don't have to reset it....spend the money on watches,  not winders.
