I've read the threads saying 'check your bracelet screws regularly for tightness and be sure to use Lock-Tite. You don't want the bracelet to fall apart'.

Never thought it would happen to me - but it did. Super Jubilee 18K/SS had one bracelet screw 40% out of the bracelet. Had backed out of the far side and was barely hanging on by a hair on the near side. Caught it taking it off at night, so no harm, no foul.

Since I tighten them every 6 months or so, I am attributing it to perhaps because I wore it outside in single digit Farenheit for several hours that day. Metal shrinkage and/or different rate of contraction between the 18K gold and the SS?

Don't want this to happen again, got lucky this time. What type of Lock-Tite (blue, red, other?) do the pros here recommend ?
