Lost bracelet screw-Batman

You would think that this would be covered by the 5 year warranty. I would like to call someone at Rolex to have them send me a screw. Any suggestion?

They probably thought the call was a prank and didn't offer you a replacement screw, as a batman comes on oyster

Nope, you are mistaken. My GMT II came with a jubilee.

A replacement screw, and l bought some from AD via Rolex and they was £2.50 each for a 41mm submariner.
$40 is having your pants down.

Huh? Interesting. Yeah you're right. That's the story, they thought it was a prank. But, why did they offer to order it for me?

So you're saying that I have a GMT with an oyster bracelet? Why in the Wide World of Sports would I ask an AD to send me a screw for a jubilee if I have a oyster bracket? That makes no sense whatsoever. What am I missing here?

So, TunaTuna. Here is a picture of my BLNR (Batman) with the bracelet that was on the watch when I bought it new from the AD. So what it is Jubilee or Oyster? What do you think TunaTuna?

Lots of comedians here for a pretty straightforward question.

Yes, Tuna Terrific is quite the comedian and an authority on about everything.

My head hurts from reading these last few posts lol

Gives the phrase "having a screw loose" a new meaning.

Big Tuna is right, though (shameless The Office reference). As far as silly super hero nicknames are concerned, the Batman is on Oyster and the Batgirl is on jubilee. Lol

Esslinger's generic (oyster) screws are correct for diameter and length, but the threads do not extend far enough onto the shaft of the screw. When snugged down, the screw sits about 0.5mm "proud." Forcefully screwing it down further will damage the female threads in the link. Bite the bullet and get the authentic Rolex screws if you can. Also you want the red, not the blue Loctite.

Tuna Terrific, is that a question? Or is that a statement?

Just for your information it's a GMT BLNR with a jubilee bracelet.

This. A few years back I noticed the safety lock of my Explorer II getting caught on something. Upon closer inspection, it was snagging on the screw of the nearest link behind it. Fortunately, the screw didn't completely come out. I had never removed this screw previously. Things like this happen. When I get a new watch on a bracelet, I use my screwdriver to ensure all screws are fully screwed down after sizing it.

Big Tuhuna, So tell me this? I am getting an oyster bracelet for my BLNR. Since it started out with a Jubilee and will have a Oyster will my GMT be a transgender. Being all knowing I am sure you would be the tuna to ask.
