Can’t remember which Loctite that’s the proper one to use at the screws on Rolex bracelets – Loctite 220 or 222?

Thanks

I don't remember. Took this pics when I picked my Daytona; is there a way to tell from the Rolex box?

I want that kit!

GerardoG · 25 October 2009, 04:42 AM

If I only had SEEN the pic before posting; it's 221.

very nice tool kit

I'd like to get myself one of those.

Blue loctite would be ideal I believe. With red I don't think you would ever get the screws back out.

Do not use red or your will be using a torch to loosen it.

GerardoG · 27 October 2009, 04:28 AM

This is from the AD, and the red Loctite is what Rolex supplies.

The container is red the Loctite isn't.

Ooooops, was not aware of that! Thank you for the comment.

Loctite 221 is purple and is made as "jewellery adhesive" (threadlocker)

Blue - 242
Red - 271
Green - 290

Red Loctite is for fasteners from 3/8 - 1" in diameter and is non-service removeable. As stated above you WILL need heat to remove a fastener that has used red Loctite threadlocker.

I use 222, it works like a charm.

Loctite 221 and 222 are virtually identical products. Both are purple in color and low strength. All Loctite threadlocker containers are red. Either is fine for bracelet screws and other jewelry uses.

222 is thixotropic in its viscosity. That is a highly technical term which means it does not ook out all over the place. It is less likely to run out of screw holes and this makes it nice for bracelet screws.

Use either, but use very sparingly.
