Need advice on my LVc bracelet please!
I bought this watch from AD last month.
3 links were removed then. I noted yesterday that the last two removable links on each side are "too tight"!like they were over glued! You can unfold them with using thumbs and some pressure. AD said they will become looser with time. I'd appreciate anyadvice |

Was it sized at the AD? if so they could have added too much Loctite. Wearing it could loosen it. If it doesn't get better take it back to the AD and have them adjust it.

Relax. It happened to me and after many showers and daily wear it became normal again. Trying to take the screws out to clean it after the loctite cured, would probably cause more harm and add scratches/tool marks to the screw head or even strip it.

Use a hair dryer on it and work the kinks out
Or some hot water. Be gentle

It will fix itself, if it bothers you immerse it in warm water and manipulate it, it will loosen :thumbup:

If too much loctite is the cause, then it rose into the sleeve where the link screw is smooth. If so, you'll need to heat it quite a bit. If none of this works, another option is to take it to the AD and have the screws removed, threads cleaned and reinstalled.

Yep. Looks like too much loctite.
What I can't believe is that your AD told you it would loosen up over time. I would have told him he/she was about to lose business and money over time if the problem wasn't fixed immediately. But that's just the way I am when I spend thousands of $$$ on something. |
