It seems one of the lug tube screws securing the bracelet to the case has fallen out.

From previous threads I searched I found the following sites:
Long Watch Screw Tube for AP Audemars Piguet RO Royal Oak 41mm Watch Band 15400 https://a.co/d/hCU0KeR

https://watch2parts.com/products/25...kit-for-audemars-piguet-ap-royal-oak-ro-watch
I figured the lug screw tube for the 15400 from the above links would work as it’s for a 41mm. My problem is the screw tubes in those links do not resemble the screw tube in the ceramic, see pics below. It looks like a smaller screw that screws into the tube rather that around the tube.

Any thoughts or ideas on if the 15400 tube will work or if there is another equivalent from Ali or other online watch part stores?

I tried these two, neither of which worked. The tube for the 15400 was close but the screw ends were too long and protruded from the lug hole. The other clearly didn’t work as the screw ends had a larger diameter than the lug hole.

There are a few others out there to try, but any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Updating this thread for future reference should someone else run into this problem.

I purchased this for a 42mm ROO:


The tube itself is too short as the tube in the ceramic is 26mm and the screw head is too large for the hole in the case BUT the thread pitch is perfect.

I sized the diameter of the screw head down with a diamond file and the screw fit perfectly.

Problem solved.
