But with that said I have never applied additional loctite to my screw in links and things seem to have been ok, and yes I have removed and replaced them a number of times. I'd say just get a small screwdriver and try tightening it down |

Good to hear re loctite. Been hesitant to apply it myself. I just keep an eye on the screws and so far it seems to hold well without loctite.

It might be a “$10,000 watch” but it’s a 10 cent screw and no more magical than righty tighty

Please don't hand it in to some random AD. You are far better off doing this yourself. Don't wear your watch until this has been resolved.

Should be standard issue ... ;)
Tighten screws, adjust clasp and remove/install bracelet. Kind regards, Oliver

To be fair to OP they only asked an honest question about their Rolex on a Rolex forum. I'm all for the wise crack funny responses but leave off with the holier than thou attitude eh?
Glad you got it sorted OP |

If you ever have issues with a stuck screw a little heat goes a long way. Worst case you can hit it with a butane brulee torch and it'll break up the loctite with ease. edit - if you're saying apply it to the threads in the link that makes sense too and you can disregard my comment. |

How much are you applying? It should only be a very small amount so as not to even exceed thread height...you’d have to be lathering it on for that to occur

Exactly right! It SHOULD BE a very small amount. Therein lies the potential for trouble.

So many flippant remarks, not everyone is that comfortable with messing about with screws in a 10K plus watch.
Cut the guy some slack, I was going to ask about the correct tools but I think I will avoid that now! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hi OP.
The Rolex screwdriver reference no.2100 is perfect for the job.

It’s honestly laughable. The arrogance of some of the responses makes me wonder if the critics have nothing better to do with their time. Thankfully most people are friendly and helpful. The varied responses perfectly justify the original question. Furthermore, the snide remarks don’t take into account any consideration for the many possibilities that could impact the ability to do the work - partial sightedness, tremors, lack of tools, lack of confidence etc etc. But hey whatever makes you feel more secure guys!

He's not exactly having to go stabbing blindly around inside the case to fix something, it's a screw in a bracelet link...

Sorry, let’s get back to ‘what’s my watch worth’ and ‘lack of availability’ threads instead, at least it’s a genuine question and don’t assume everyone has the same level of knowledge! This forum has gone to shite lately. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I think we should have a thread on what’s acceptable to ask without ridicule. It seems nothing is lately. Hope you got things sorted mate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
