I got my 114060 1 month ago from the AD and he did the resizing of bracelet for me. He uses the Sinn loctite which is the 242 I supposed.

However, the AD does not clean off the old loctite using alcohol. Just removed the old screws and clean off the old loctite from the threadings on the screw pins side but not on the screw hole side.

He then dab a tiny bit of the Sinn loctite and screw them back. Is it ok if the old loctite from the screw holes are not remove totally using alcohol before re-applying the new loctite?

I try not to redo the screws because it may well strip off the screw heads. Am I good to go based on the adjustment done by the AD? Or will the screws back off just because the AD did not clean off the old loctite before re-applying the new one? Thanks everyone.

i wouldn't worry about it, it isn't ideal but is still effective.

So it should hold out well. Inside the AD there are so many sales going around so I cannot imagine they clean out all the threads using alcohol prior to re-applying.

Reckon it should be okay - it is a good idea periodically to do a visual check of the screws and maybe ensure they are torqued down in any event. Good luck!

Don't stress about it, it's not going to be an issue.
