Screws coming loose

Hi Team, thanks for all your posts and I enjoy reading the forums.

I recently got platona and had the AD size it about 2 weeks. I have worn it as my daily and plan to do so. I looked down at my wrist tonight and a screw is starting to work its way out. I cannot say for certain if the watchmaker used loctite as I didnt see him size it. I will of course return back and ensure he does the second time.

I am wondering how common it is for these screws to work their way out on new watches as the bracelets begin to work themselves. In 2010 I woke up to find my GV (a 2007 release but I obtained mine in 2009) stainless screw complete out on the night stand and the oyster bracelet had separated. I dont know how that would have happened.

Since then I have been fortunate to obtain hulk panda new and both color dials 116520s - I purchased those 2 grey as I did better in life over time and returned to daytonas I couldnt obtain at the time they were current models. For these 4 I always sized the bracelets myself and made certain I did the loctite, these 4 watches have never separated and the bracelet screws remain intact. For the platona I just let the AD size it but I hate I cannot verify if loctite was applied (which is why I always want to size them myself.. anyways thanks for reading).

Any insight you may have is greatly appreciated! TIA!!

I appreciate the Rolex community we have here and honor everyone's achievements!

Btw I read every post on the platona in anticipation of getting one and many stated how heavy it was and it was bothersome, after a few days I never noticed the weight anymore and I even found the GV to be heavy given its 2 cases. The weight isnt a reason to back off of the platona!!
