    You can always use masking tape to keep from scratching the back or front of the watch, just leaving the removal part exposed enough to use the pliers on,works good.

    Yes but when you fix watches die a living and are changing batteries on 50+ watches a day, it’s just not practical. You’re better off learning to do it without the tape. Thank god I don’t change batteries no more. If you’re a watch maker starting out, try to get the fuck away from changing batteries.

    Might try putting some clear scotch tape on the back to prevent scratches. If you're worried about scratches & a little over the notches to help the plier tips grip it. When I use a dremel/grinder to port small engine cylinders. I put tape in the cylinder to keep the grinding bit from slipping & scratching the cylinder wall.

    Simplest method is to open even the tightest screw-down watch back without any risks is to superglue a large nut to the back of the case. Allow the superglue a full 24 hours to fully cure. Once the superglue is cured, you can apply a spanner to give you the leverage needed to remove even the tightest watch back. Once the back is removed, simply soak it in acetone (nail varnish remover) for 6 hours or so, and the nut will drop off.
