Interesting, thanks Eve🙂👍. Just looking at video, think I would not have undone the clasp. Probably makes working on the links easier, though, right?

I guess that was just a habit I got from working on split pin bracelets. 😅 The tools for split pins need more space so I always undo the clasp.

Pod video as all ways, everyone should make sure they have the correct size screw drivers as not to mar the metal up or mess up the heads, I find using tape and cling film (ceran wrap) can help stop scratches when doing this, if you have found the perfect size and know you will keep the watch buy a bottle of purple (the weakist) threadlock or similar product but it has to be weak, don't use the red or any other one only purple then put a drop on the screw threads on every screw and leave it 12H to dry this will make sure a screw never comes out on its own and yes it's happened to me before, Threadlock purple is so gentle that the screw won't move but as soon as you use a screw driver it will come out with only a little more strength as if without. No mess, heat and solvents but please only purple if you use red it will be very hard to get out. Watchmaking is one of the few industry's that mostly refuse any other stype of screw heads apart from flatheads otherwise it can look realy ugly. Of course the case back have different style but they all mostly look fine. This is the same with jewelry, gunmaking and other crafts that have a long history. Maybe if your going to prison you could get alot of spare links so it fits you, use spring bars meant for older style rolexes (as in the ones for drilled lugs, you would have to cut them off) then use a mix of superglue and red threadlock on all the screws, if you can't find enough spare links and need the casp get someone to solder it and the micro adjust pins lol I was thinking a company should make a clasp that requires a magnetic key to take off with all these rolex robberys around but you could end up murdered or missing a hand. Some guy got stabbed over a fake rolex not long ago and he passed away. It's insane. I prefer screw links but good quality split pins are not a deal breaker for me as if you have a little tool kit it's fast.

These are great tips! Thank you so much. 😁 I agree, flat screw heads look much nicer. The others kinds would look too complicated and would distract from the other features of the watch. HOPEFULLY, I or anyone else reading this, won't ever have to go to prison. 😰😰😰

@@AliasEveWatches When I see backs that have multiple hex screws I think it just looks strange and no real reason to move from a screw down back unless it's a small square watch. For a round watch no excuse. I've noticed that even on modern 30m or less round mechanical chronographs with almost no WR or dress watches it seems that all have moved away from the pop off back case to a screw down back. Its a nice upgrade as those friction fit casebacks can wear out. Theft of rolex and now omega watches are going yo like crazy as the resale is so high but its not just a robbery it's often very violent or murder. Many online watch reviews that own high end watches have been targeted. No plans on going to prison lol but in most nations you are allowed one up to 100usd or pounds or maybe half that and its apparently very hard to get one from the prison stores and most are stolen, if I was setup and had to do time (US and most other nations would think UK prisons are like a vacation) I would size up my orient kamasu and superglue the pins and clasp shut lol, maybe Sd1970 as they are cheap but if you had to choose 1 watch allways on you that you could not trust taking off it would be a diver with sapphire, a steel bracelet and a 21600bph Japanese movement steel so you could make it so no one cuts the strap. Some guy a new from high school went to prison for 6 months over tax fraud, pretty messed up how they mixed him in with violent prisoners, he came in with a cheap G shcok and many offered him alot of stuff or contraband for it but he said no within 3 days it was forced from him. He got out in under 4 months for good behavior. He said one of the biggest guys in prison had a burger King happy meal Disney Princess watch or something that came free with the meal as he got arrested at home his daughter gave it to him.

Never had a bracelet with screws, but by far the easiest adjustments. However, I always hear stories of screws coming loose? How has your experience been in that regard?
@AliasEveWatches
@AliasEveWatches 2 жыл бұрын
My experience with screw link bracelets is very limited. So far, it's just been with this Exciton II which is brand new. I haven't heard of stories of screws coming loose but I imagine that would be possible especially if you make adjustments often. I think it would be more likely to go loose with split pins as well if you often do adjustments since it's friction-based.

I've had 4 watches with screwed links. One of them, a new Steinhart OVM, started to come apart as I was doing yardwork. Either they didn't tighten them at the factory, or the jewelry store that sized it for me didn't, but i had a small screwdriver and checked them all. No problems since and never problems with the other ones.
