Bracelet screws

[liboozers]

Was curious if Omega uses/reccomends using Loctite to prevent screws from backing out. Now before everyone starts yelling at me this is a huge discussion in the Rolex secrion. I know never use blue or red that's for medium and heavy strength for like cars/machinery. But I know Rolex included in the sizing kits purple 221/222 for low strength applications.

So as I stated earlier does Omega reccomend using it?
Also does anyone here use it on their bracelet?

Never heard stories of screws backing out.... if it's a real concern you have then give it a go... if not just leave it and be like 99 percent of others.

I always put a little loctite on each screw, peace of mind

I never use loctite since on the watches without a micro-adjust clasp I have a habit of tinkering with the fit of the bracelet a lot. I don't believe the screws will just walk out on their own since all they do is prevent the pins from sliding out.

So quick story that just happened to me two days ago with my new PO. I Purchased a PO GMT from my AD and had to have the links adjusted of course. It took them almost an hour to loosen the screws because omega had so much Loctite on it. It was truly ridiculous. They had to soak it in water solution(ultrasonic) and put the hairdryer on it. So being that it came from the factory that way, yes omega would recommend using Loctite. I suggest purple Loctite. I’ve used it on watches and Knives, works great to hold the screws in place and is not hard to break free when needed.

I never have used (or needed) to add anything to screws and have never experienced issues.

If the screws have a shoulder and actually clamp something in position then they are held in position by tension from the metal stretching slightly.

If they are studs, like those in Rolex bracelets, they do not have any method/stretch holding them in place - Loctite is the answer.

Glad to know this. Thank you.

Wow didn't mean to start anything by asking lol. I know with Rolex and Tudor they use/recommend it. But after seeing how the Omega screws are on both sides and have a pin inside the bracelet I can see the difference. Being how I have the Loctite already I may use it when I size my bracelet.
