It is mis-concept about the Loctite to the Rolex link.
Rolex did ask AD to apply Loctite to newly adjusted bracelet when watch is sold, but all new watch does not have any loctite in it.
All new watch when you removed the link, you will only see the white powder in between the screw and thread, whick is the polish powder!
Use 1.6 mm screwdriver is correct, but you need to modified the tip so its width (thickness of blade) is no less than 0.4 mm, look at this picture! the screw on link are broad slotted, the regular watchmaker's screwdriver with thin blade of 0.2mm can not be use here, if you force it the blade will most likely chipped, and the screwhead will scratched.
Experince watchmaker has developed the finger strength to break that inertia and restore it without the need of any chemical, but unfortunately most AD only have sales person to adjust the links, so the Loctite is the solution for Rolex AD as required by RSC.
Few instances like customer drop the watch in few days after purchase; resulted this solution.
