iceclimber Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 a quick question for the experts.... I received this watch from Andrew, and everything is good with it, except the crown guard assembly keeps coming loose. It is not really a function issue, but can I spray the screws with loctite so that they will remain in place?? Does using loctite pose problems down the road?? Any advice would be appreciated!!

l3x Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 You mean the crown guard screw comes loose from the case? Or do you mean the crown guard pin? I read about this problem over at RG. People say the srews are too short. Solution is to find longer screws but it's a pain to find the correct size and length. For the pin, I read hot glue fix will make it firmer.

klocklind1 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 If You use locktite on a titanium case ( a lot softer then steel ! ) You can sometimes distroy the threads, if You loosen and tighten them to often!. The case is that the locktite ( ALWAYS use the weakest locktite, there are 3 different ones ! ) will make the screws sitting so hard that You can get bad threads when You loosening them! And the screws is 1,8 mm in diameter and normally the "standard" screws is 2,0 mm so YES it can be difficult to get longer screws! I used a little locktite on the backside of the crownguard ( one of the thereads is bad ! ) and that keeps it in place but then it will be a little bit more difficult to take it away again! On the steel version I think it is a little easier to tighten the screws with locktite but use only a little! If the screws really HAS the CORRECT lenght then there should be no problems with tighten them! Hope this helps ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
