Jamming links on my 114060
Hallo and merry christmas (happy holidays) to you all!
I purchased an 114060 some 15 months ago and I really love it but...A couple of months ago a small (so far) problem started to appear. Some links in the bracelet jammed together and I have to bend them ( with my hands) to loosen them up. This problem seems to accelerate with more links as time goes. Anyone experienced the same problem? I wear my sub with a snug fit if that has anything to do with? Thankful for opinions/replies. |

I have not experienced this and given there are no other responses I guess others have not either.

Do you bath your watch, it may be dirt and grime that's stucked in the pins
Causing friction to the movement of the bracelet links therefore jamming the bracelet links. But it's just a guess. |

Could be the loctite....had this problem a few times on new watches sized by the AD when to much loctite was added.....not sure it would take this long to start jamming up though......

I would clean it with soapy warm water and s soft toothbrush first. If the problem persists this is not normal take it in for a check.

Remove the bracelet and wash it with dishwashing liquid soap.
Rinse it good and bring it to any jeweller for an Ultrasonic bath. This will take only a few minutes and took care of a similar problem I had with my TT GMT bracelet. (after 3v years of use) I since than bought an Ultrasonic cleaning unit for 100 Euro and it is amazing how much dirt came out of all my bracelets with this.

Unlikely, but for completeness, are you sure you don't have a residual tiny protective sticker stuck between the links?

It sounds like a loctite issue. Take it in to any competent watchmaker, or wherever you bought it, if from an AD.
