The pins are in shear-load on each side of the link and the tightness they are screwed in has nothing to do with the security of the link on the bracelet.... So, even if you did break one off at the thread end, the bracelet will still hold because the other side will keep the link from pulling from the bracelet...the pin needs to come completely out before you will lose your bracelet.

Understood! The tightness is just a matter of the screws not backing out. Thanks again all!
