Great save!

I lost my first Rolex while standing in the door of a C-130 in 1984. Wrist suddenly felt cooler and saw it was gone when I looked back. It so disturbed me that I waited 30 years to buy another one. I still feel a little sick thinking about it.

Glad you didn't get to experience the heart ache!

It was good that you noticed it in time. It is worth of checking them every now and then for the security's sake.

Maybe the Loctite haters now will rethink.
Well said
