Stiff Link on GMT

Before I left the AD, I had them size my GMT. They had to remove two links and then add one back in. Maybe they mixed up the links? Maybe. Great fit. Everything looks right. Screws look ok from the outside. However, one of the joints now is really stiff. It will articulate fully, but it feels unusually tight.

I'm taking it back to the AD soon to have them eyeball it. But any idea what this could be? I let it soak in some soapy water and gave it a good clean. No change.

Should I try some baby oil?

Yeah, that is kinda what I was thinking. I know they added some Loc-tite to the threads. Maybe they got some extra where it wasn't meant to go.

It will loosen up over time, I had the same thing on an oyster bracelet
