If a pin works loose, the watch can detach from the wrist, potentially resulting in serious and costly damage—or, in extreme cases, a watch that is beyond economical repair. A small drop of thread locker is cheap insurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"174\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWorth noting that this is a product you’ll often find in most automotive stores, tool shops, and even many motorcycle dealerships.
