Somehow a screw came loose.
Any idea why this happened? Easy fix?

Screw it back in, If the watch band was ever adjusted at one point it was probably left loose.

Every Rolex collector needs a small screw driver set.

Screw it back in. I have had screws back out from time to time. Just make sure you notice before it hits the floor!

Well .....define easy. Just because using a small screw driver and twisting it clockwise might seem easy to me....

Same thing happened to my Daytona while jet skiing... That was a heart attack and a half, escecially becuase I discovered it that way after flying off of said jet ski.
I posted last year about the same concern. People suggested just buying some light duty loctite to DIY. I got a good micro toolset at Target that has the sizes that seem to fit my watch and glasses. Good Luck!

If it backed out once, it might just do it again. I'd add a dab of Loctite 222

Happened to me before on my sub. Visited local RSC and they tighten them all with lock paste. Free of charge! Been perfect since then!

Screwdriver and loctite
Loctite 38653 222 Purple Low Strength Thread Locker Tube, 6-milliliter Ordered from Amazon Actually had my SD fall off in a pool when a screw backed out. I had not bothered with the loctite over a year earlier...so it took a while but made its way out. |

Happened to my OP about six months after I purchased it and had it sized. I was walking around a shopping centre at the time. Took it off put it in my pocket and re fitted the screw with locktite once I was home.
