I know we had a recent "debate" here over new watches and screws coming loose. Well, here is a picture of my latest loose screw. I was so busy on the computer I didn't even realize it was coming out until it had dug into my skin. It is a brand new high quality bracelet. I was sure that I tightened the screws. However, even being careful doesn't guarantee a screw can't work its way out. :) Attachment: screwed.jpg (Downloaded 48 times) |

I've heard of some companies using small amounts of Loctite to prevent that. Maybe you could try it. |

I thought so too when I first read about. One of those simple solutions that stops you in your tracks and makes you ask yourself why you didn't think of it. |

Yea Loctite I keep it around for many things besides watches. If you don't want to spend the money for it though it is not expensive you can also use a very small dab of clear fingernail polish. Not quite as strong but will keep it in place if your on a vacation and need it quicky :cool: if you buy a new watch. ;) If it isn't the screw it can be the spring bars in deployment clasp. I had one pop on me last week. Good to keep a magnet around too when pins and screw drop to the floor. :D |

Just take comfort in the fact you aren't the only one here with a screw loose.  |

But to me the best thing is a few good cold beers. :D http://www.kokaneebeer.com This was on sale at the store today so I decided to try it out. A little mild and soft compared to the darks I mostly drink but not to bad. :cool: |

I started using Loctite awhile back when I had the same thing happen. Ouch, that looks like it hurt! Cheers, Griff BTW, no amount of Loctite can cure those other loose screws, only more watches! |
