Hey guys it pangs me to have to write this post but if anyone would be able to give me a straight answer it would be you guys (Thanks a lot Google!)

After finally finding the correct fit for my new 114060 I ordered some loctite to put on the pins (since I had changed configurations 100 times trying to get the right fit.) I was happy to finally put some loctite on the pins and leave it be.

Well the glide lock link that connects to the half link was acting up when I was making micro adjustments throughout the day, almost like the link wasn't bending like the pin was stuck. I figured I must have gotten a little too much loctite on the pin and it would be a simple fix. I unscrewed the pin (which was harder than it should have been, lessons learned) and when it got to then end I couldn't get it out of the link. I got some needle nose pliers and used my shirt so I wouldn't scratch anything. I got it out and cleaned off the residue screwed the pin back in but when I tried to clip in the glide lock it was getting stuck and not locking in place.

upon further inspection I had pinched the end of the pin so it was sticking up some. It was hard to get back out with the screwdriver since now the screwdriver wouldn't completely fit seeing as it was pinched. I managed to get the pin out and I used a razor blade to pry the end open so I could screw it back into place and actually wear the watch.

It is working now but I need to order a replacement pin (the odd sized one that connects glide lock to the bracelet.) Should I contact my AD (Didn't buy the watch from him) or should I contact RSC and see if I can order one from them? I checked online (Ebay, google etc) and couldn't find that specific pin.

Sorry for the long winded post I just wanted to describe in detail what happened so someone knew exactly which link I was talking about.

Thank you all very much in advance you're life savers! Me right now -->

TLDR: I bent the end of the little pin that connects glide lock to the rest of the bracelet. Where can I order another one?
