Are modern Rolex watches any better?

A tiny drop of Loctite 222 is the way to go. Rolex bracelets come from the factory with a dab of their version of Loctite, so it makes perfect sense to me to use it when adjusting the bracelet. Sure, you can just run your finger down the sides of the bracelet every time you put the watch on, but Loctite negates any problems at source.
