I see some rolex require locktite and some dont.
Mine has locktite and some links and some dont. It was bought used.

16610 and 116334 do these require locktite?

I searched loctite.

Browse through these?

I use a dab of 221 or 222 inside the female thread.

This is normal with a new Rolex bracelet, tight tolerances. It will go away over time.
You can try moving the links manually many times and wash it with a toothbrush and dishwashing soap afterwards.

Don’t put any lubricant on it. This will only attract more dirt and accelerate wear in the long run

All of the bracelets that have screw links use loctite. What bracelets are you looking at that do not?

The screw bars are not "clamping" anything, they are simple studs that do not do anything except screw into their opposing threads; there is nothing to really hold them in place except loc tite.

The squeaky noise coming from the link that is close to the case. These ones don't have the head of screw bar exposed on the side of the bracelet. i don't see how this can be removed.

Wash it with warm water and liquid hand soap. The squeaky is from tight machine tolerances the parts actually rubbing together.

I have never had one unscrew itself.

That is the sweet sound of a freshly minted Rolex. Enjoy it because it will eventually go away.

I was in a work meeting and a screw fell out of my exp ii. Luckily it got caught in the cuff of my shirt or it would’ve taken a decent fall. Never found the screw though.
