Screws always coming loose, falling out.


Recommended Posts

for the newer members "before" you experience the horror of having your rep fall off you wrist due to those dang loose screws, that keep coming loose.. which is a given with out reps..

So before you go all ballistic and get out the tube of superglue.. this may help.. can't hurt :lol:

some have had problems with the DSSD locking clasp..

if this screw is out even a fraction of a mm your clasp will not open fully,

or the worse case scenario .. the pin will fall out and your watch will plummet to the ground.

Enter "Loctite", bolt and thread "fastener", not glue but to insure your threads are locked.

A touch on the tip of the threads.. "less is more"

Get your "Watch Bitz" red driver...screw the pin back in.. no mo issues B)

It's a good idea to use the loctite on all the bracelet pins.. never assume they will never pop out..

and you WILL need the proper driver blades, sooner or later.. better make it sooner to have them available..

the easiest way to mess up your pins is with a crappy screw driver, the blades and the thickness of stem make a huge difference over the drug store jewelers drivers.. :D

Good tips, Lani. Thanks.

This is also true of those aftermarket riveted Rollie bands ... blasted little tiny screws will come loose and you're toast.

Words to live by! My Breitling Skyland (fortunately) fell in my lap because of this. It's worth noting that there are various types of LocTite (threadlocker) and they are identified by color. Blue (shown above) is what I would recommend, as it's just about the tightest-locking but still removable. Use red and those screws will NEVER come out, even if you want them to. ;) Blue leaves you the option.
