GMTIIc Screw Problem
I've had my GMTIIc for a month now.
Today I get home and I found one of the screws almost all out and on the opposite side of the buckle one loose but not coming out.  Now, I wear the watch all day and I don't sit behind a desk all day.Is this common? Should I take it to the AD or just some minor up keep?  And thank in advance for the help.

Oh no! Send it to me. I'll take care of it for you! I'm that good of a friend!
 Happened with my Milgauss too - I just tightened it. Seems to be fine now!

There seems to be a lot of this lately.......
But, I will have to say..........30+ years with Rolex and I have never had one back out on me.. I think it may be more prevalent with the new solid bracelets as there is more rotational friction force acting on the screw as the bracelet flexes........

You know your $hit (I've read your other posts and very informative)...  Should I be concerned? I'm afraid to loose the screw and have the watch fall on the side walk or something and scratch it up real bad for no reason.

There is no reason to be overly concerned because it takes a lot for the screw to come all the way out.. but I would check them all since you already have noticed the issue. a 1.6mm screwdriver fits perfectly..
A Rolex watchmaker would use a drop of loctite on the threads to ensure it stays in place... If you are concerned, then that is what I would do........ any AD with a watchmaker on staff should do this gratis..
