Is there a recommended thread locking compound for using on bracelet pins?

Thanks

I use red 271 Rik

Please excuse me, Rik, but I prefer loctite 222, low strength purple stuff for easier screw removal/adjustments.
Being, I am not a watchmaker, there is more margin for re-do??

Hi Rik,

Is 271 ok to use on bracelet pins as the spec says it's for heavy duty use?

"High strength adhesive for fasteners up to 25mm (1") diameter".

what s the proper way to make it?
thanks

Well the bracelet screws take the most beating of any screw on a Rolex,constant twisting and flexing and rubbing so maybe I over do it a bit but I woud rather err on the safe side. No matter which one you use heat from a hair dryer loosens them up with no problems. Rikki

I think that a non-professional ought to use the low strength Loctite 221 or 222...

It's easy to make a big mess if you don't know what you're doing.....

Exactly what I was thinking. Otherwise I might end up with a nice oysterlock bracelet permanently affixed to my arm
