As to the tool, I was under the impression it was proprietary but some folks open them using similar tools, just not the same as Rolex.

I am not an expert, but do not see how it could be opened from the crystal? You'd also have take off the hands and dial, and the swing mass & regualtor is still on the case back side.

Does not make sense. What I could find on the web all said it was the caseback like a normal watch. I am not saying, "I'm right, you're wrong", but haven't seen anything contrary online.

I would like to be wrong as it would be a lot more interesting to me.

I am going to email my friend that use to work for Rolex in NY and inquire as I am really curious.
