GetReplicaWatches Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 Evening lads,Got my latest addition to the collection today. Something I've wanted for a while. Before I provide you with the obviously required pictured of said beauty, I wondered if anyone could shine some advice on me. I'm struggling more than I normally would to unscrew the bracelet screws to remove a couple of links. So far I've only managed to remove one link, but it's still very lose on my wrist and could do with another link. What are your secrets for loosening link screws? Picture:
Guest rg21044 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 Could be secured with loc-tite...especially if this was a M2M deal. Try a little heat. It might loosen things up enough to get them out. Good luck. Be careful not to strip the screw heads by using an ill fitting screwdriver.
GetReplicaWatches Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Posted October 31, 2015 I've tried submerging the link in boiling water to see if it loosened. No help. Tried WD40. No help. Might see if I can find a match somewhere and use that
GetReplicaWatches Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Posted October 31, 2015 Just put it up against the cooker at full blast until it was scolding hot (I realise this isn't particularly safe...but I couldn't find a lighter). Still won't even budge a smidge.
panerai153 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Posted November 1, 2015 Is that the only link that's removable? If not, I would try another one. Looks like that one is either loctited to the max or it's cross threaded and really stuck. If you'd strip the slot out then you will never get it out.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
SSTEEL Posted November 1, 2015 Report Posted November 1, 2015 Using the correct cut-off type bladed screwdriver helps too. 1
HaydenM Posted November 1, 2015 Report Posted November 1, 2015 Yeah I had this problem when I got my tudor BB. Good screwdrivers are the number 1 thing to help. Otherwise I ended up being an idiot and taking a hacksaw to it
GetReplicaWatches Posted November 1, 2015 Author Report Posted November 1, 2015 I am using the correct size driver. Unfortunately it's a very small one, so getting a good grip on it is a nightmare. Anyone recommend any other good screwdrivers?
gasebah Posted November 1, 2015 Report Posted November 1, 2015 I have recently bought this one and it works a lot better than any than I had before.http://www.ebay.de/itm/Ref-2100-CUT-OUT-Schraubendreher-fur-Rolex-Uhren-/262114350741?hash=item3d073b9695:g:XeQAAOSwA4dWL14H
