Order new screws, loctite, a quality screwdriver (hollow ground if possible), heat up the screws (I use a few seconds over open flame) to loosen existing loctite, clean up links, add a SMALL dab of loctite to the female threads, and reinstall. In a pinch you can use clear nail polish (but it has to be removed with acetone in the future).

Hi kilyung.
Thanks. The AD seems to have messed up with the screws and I bought this watch a month back. Should I contact them after Christmas.
I have uploaded some more pictures showing all 5 screws in my bracelet. Guidance on how to tackle this would be veey helpful.

Tx..

There may just be some built up loctite in the female end of that link. I don't think that link is a thru hole, so it may have some loctite in it built up over a few bracelet adjustments. Not sure how to clean it out, maybe a little acetone on the end of a tooth pick or other small device. Then maybe the screw will seat.

Loctite 222, 222MS, Purple.... is the correct type.
