I have a screw loose...on the bracelet that is.

Seems my ROC has managed to get one of the link screws loose and it back out a bit.

1) What size screwdriver do I need to tighten it back?
2) Should I use something on the pins like loctite?

Basically I am really concerned that if this happens again, the watch would go flying off my wrist and I will have a heart attack.

Thanks

1.6mm screwdriver and a little loctite or clear nail polish will help.

You sure about 1.6?

I have a 1.6mm for Panerai straps and it was a bit too big. I was thinking 1.4mm.

My BB and RO both take 1.6mm. I can't see the ROC being different. It is a tight fit but that's preferred as it prevents damaging the screw's slot.

not sure on driver size. i know the screws in my diver are way smaller than my panerai. here is what i do. i check the screws by feel and visually very frequently. that said on a flight to vegas once i noticed a screw backing out of a panerai buckle. so NOW i carry a screwdriver in my shave kit. problem solved. nail polish works but i rarely use that. but i hear its a good idea quit often.

I stand corrected. My RO is 1.4mm so the ROC is probably 1.4mm as well.
