Rolex Bracelet Adjustment Help!

[poiuy]

Good Afternoon All,

I got my oyster perpetual 114300 today....

I've managed to get a couple of links off, but due to skinny wrist syndrome, need to take at least another one off.....

A couple of the screws are nice and easy to get off, but a couple of them are VERY tight, and don't seem to want to budge

I've tried using a hairdryer and also wd40 on the screws, which hasn't made any difference

Any advice?

Thanks in advance

Don't all rush at once people :hehehe:

Managed to get it sorted in the end, with a bit of perseverance

It's a shame the braclet/clasp doesn't have micro adjustment

Could have put it in the freezer overnight.

If there is any sticky stuff on the threads of the screws you need heat. A hairdryer is not enough, use a lighter for a few seconds and heat the area opposite of the screw head.
And make sure you have the correct screw driver. People tend to use ones that are too small but then you can't transfer enough torque.

I was warming the head side....:atwitsend:

Will keep this in mind for next time.....

At the moment, all is well....

I just need to figure out how to micro adjust the bracelet......I can see where i need to make the change, just dont know how :bolt:

Put water in a job and heat it until boiling, put the bracelet in and take it off the fire. Grab the bracelet (not with your hands!!!) after a minute or less and try to unscrew a few of those. It worked for me.
