Having trouble unscrew one link on my Daytona
I am trying to take off one more link on my Daytona.
I can unscrew all the links... except for one. Does anyone know what I should do at this point? Should i soak the link in the hot water? Thank~ |

You can either soak it in hot water or if you have a steamer, steam the link. This will loosen the loctite and you'll get the screw out no problem. |

A minute or so with a hair dryer will usually do it.
As GerardoG said a bracelet holder is a great help. Saves many slips and scratches. Cheap. Mark |

Use an Iron ->
Since it is S/S and away from watch body, use an Iron to heat up and see if that does that.
Place link between padded vise, to hold in position
