Indeed, a very nice piece. KW seems to conquer the whole market with high quality combined with attractive prices. I hope to see more competition among the manufacturers or "assembly points", however you call it.

ah man! lost a screw. :*(
this watch will be out of commission for awhile.

and you know, I tightened the screws the first day I recieved the watch. wore it maybe 3 times and today a screw is missing. man oh man.

I was going to wait for my new strap before using loctite but now I regret not doing so.

oh well time to place an order for some screws.

I hope you guys learn from others mistakes. loctite them screws!!!

Crap, so straight from the factory a screw fell out? I was hoping to not mess with the screws and they would stay, but sounds like you're saying it's better to actually take them out no matter what and use loctite?

better safe than having to pay 10 bucks for 2 spare screws. hahaha.

this btw is just my experience. maybe other people here don't have this problem.

Mine came last week

QC pics from Intime (excellent comunication)








And the baby on my wrist



I find the strap quite good although I am thinking on a strap change for the Summer.

Guys you are scaring me a bit with the screws... Shall I put loctite right know? Will it give problems in the upcoming strap change? Should loctite be used at any time we manipulate the screws? On the own screw or in the internal thread of the case, just a drop?

Thanks guys for your comments, always learning something from you!

Good looking watch! The lug screws on my radiomir (a 210) also fell out after a few days. It seems to be pretty common. Use loctite 222 (low strength thread locker) and apply a tiny drop on the screw thread, never on the bottom of the screw and never in the screw hole. That way it is still easy to remove the screw when you want to change the strap.

Ok! Now I know how to apply it...Thanks a lot! Should I then make it at any strap change or once I use it cannot be used again on the same screws?

The dial of this radiomir is amazing, fonts are really gen-like.

crazy quick shipping from sead! Got here quicker than my Nato strap.

Here are some quick shots. I tried to get some close-ups of the crown. I love it.
