Bracelet re-sizing:
 
Took my DJ to the AD to have a link removed from the Jubilee bracelet.

I noticed two interesting things that I dn't know anything about:

1). They kept poking the screwdriver into some blue play-doh like substance before touching the watch.

2). They added some type of glue to the threads before re-screwing in the pin.

I assume the play-doh like stuff was to protect the finish of the watch and the glue is to hold the pins in better.

What is the stuff?:thinking:

1.) It's Rodico or Rub-off, that's just to make sure the screwdriver is clean.
2.) The glue is Loctite, and yes it's so the screws don't come loose easily.

The Rodico seems like a good idea Vanessa.

Which Loctite would you use - just an anti-vibration strength?
