RSC stripped bracelet screw
 
I recently bought a used Black Bay 58 (2022) and discovered that the previous owner had badly damaged two of the bracelets screws.

I couldn't get them out so off I went to the AD, they also failed and it's now gone to the RSC for "repair".

Do you think that the RSC will be able to repair this or will they tell me to buy a new bracelet..? Its also going to be regulated while its there as ifs running about -9 spd.

Thanks in advance.

Easily repairable with the right tools, or a replacement of the link. No reason for a new bracelet.

This is not typically an RSC issue if you have an AD with the right tools.

I’m sure they’ll fix it up good as new without major cost.

Hope you get it back sooner than later:cheers:

Speaking for myself would not worry about it's just screw nothing more.

They'll easily fix that.

Tudor particularly uses a lot of loctite from the factory, resulting in frequent damage like this.

Bas, could you buff it and cap it with a rivet to make it look like it never happened? Sure the screw will get shorter, but I'd think you'd never know.

Cap the screw with a rivet? Not sure about what you mean exactly :thinking:
