Datejust advice......
Just bought this Datejust 116200 at a great price........more on that later.
I kind of messed up one or two of the bracelet screwheads (appearance only) and need to buy a couple of new ones. I don't want to send the watch somewhere when I can easily do this myself, as soon as I get the two smaller microdriver bits for my Wiha set. Anyway, I need to know where I can get 2 ~ 3 screws. Also do you use any threadlock on these screws. Been considering Loctite Purple Jewelers Threadlock....opinions. Now about the purchase. Local BMW dealer gave this to the salesman of the year and he's not a watch guy. He posted it on Craigslist at $2750 and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Love the new bracelet and the smooth bezel! Met and offered $2500 and he took it! Brand new and unwrapped. Bought two rolexes in one week. Didn't plan to but when the deals show up I'll usually find a way. Here's the DJ along with the 14060M I bought this week |

Nice Rolexes. I don't know where to find screws, but a dab of Loctite will help, just a dab though...

You can try an independent Rolex repair center. I bought a replacement screw for my Sub bracelet at the independent Rolex repair center in San Francisco.

You sure you don't want to take it to a watchmaker? Given what happened?

I'm sure any AD will sell you a couple. Use a 1.6mm driver - use smaller and you'll ruin the screw. You can use Loctite 222 but personally, I never bother and have never had a problem.

Great advice here on the screws, couple of other options are post a WTB here, watchnet, TZ. And call any aftermarket watchmaker and ask about buying a set. And make sure you have the proper tools and you are all set. Great buy and nice watches.

I forgot, my wifes DJ had a bracelet screw that kept coming loose and she almost lost it! When I brought it on the watchmaker said he'd tighten it up and use some "sealant" to keep it put. I think the loctite is the ticket.

I don't think screws would be a problem for Steve Mulholland.
