wat44 0 Posted March 30, 2011 I recently bought a watch from a fellow member here, today the strap came off. No biggie, I thought as the screw didnt come out - it would just be a matter of putting the lug back in and tightening it up... but no - it wont tighten, it just goes round and round, so it must be stripped, I think is the only solution to glue the screw in place with loctite? and if so, how do I get it out later? thanks bottom right screw: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 83 Posted March 30, 2011 If the case thread is stripped, you're going to need to re-tap it. If it's just a stripped screw, then panatime can supply radiomir lug & screw sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mazz 62 Posted March 30, 2011 If its only one side it can be expoxyed in place, its a little more difficult to change the strap but it can be done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mondeov6 0 Posted March 31, 2011 Can you get this sorted wat? Any cost you have for repairing this is on me. Can't get it fixed for a resonable cost.... then I will give you a full refund for the watch. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wat44 0 Posted April 5, 2011 I think the best fix is to open the case back, undo the obscured screw to make sure its ok. If it is, then loc tite up the stripped one knowing I can change the strap whenever just by undoing one side it that works, fix is fine! cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wat44 0 Posted April 11, 2011 sticky- ball had the caseback off easy-peasy other screw is fine - so next step is glue the buggered screw in and it should be: job complete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
