I had to take a look see and sure as **** there it was ...Locktite 243!!!..No wonder it was tough to get those screws out!mistake.gif Now take some of your Awesome Pics Mike!!!hand6.gif King Kong did not tighten the screws. The watchmakers back in Germany use loctite when they put the screws in. There is a card in the box that looks like a business card. On the back are instructions for removing the screws.

You must heat the links/screws first.
Then you can loosen the darn screws. So, I got out my steam cleaner and gave the links a good blast on the threaded ends.

I filed down one of my jewelers screw drivers (sacrificed it) to fit in the holes and the screws came right out. No problem. Now, I have to see if I have the recommended loctite to secure them when I put them back in so they are like they came from the factory.
