I guess that Bill Yao been using screw-bars on your model to respect the look and strength of vintage diving/military watches...
I would recommand you the Loctite 242(blue threadlocker) : I use it on the job. The material fasten your thread without glueing it too hard as it's a slightly elastic material.
You will take out your screws without breaking/damaging them later on... The glue loctite or super-glue is not what I would use: If it's that you are using...?
242 is what I use for bracelet screws etc! :)
The superglue works great for crown/stem threads though because it's solid at room temp but you can heat it up with a match or lighter and it softens so you can remove the crown again if you need to.
I really was just "stirring the pot" with the "idiot screw" comments I thought it would be good to have a discussion about the merits of springbars and screws for the members who haven't given them much thought before.
Bills watches are always amazing it's as much an homage to the classic explorer as it is to the classic sub and he makes so few of them that you won't find more exclusive company anywhere for the money!
