    Apart from some unhelpful criticism in reviews, I truly appreciate your tutorial. I struggled with removing the screws and ended up stripping one. I was considering visiting a jeweler, but they were asking for $50. Fortunately, I stumbled upon your video, and it worked perfectly. Thank you.

    I used cooking oil instead of w-d40 and followed all the same steps, and it worked! Was starting to lose hope before I came across this video. Thanks! :)

    Helpful. I put a small amount of w-d40 on the affected screw and moved it around for a wile. I skipped the hammering part and just rinsed it off with hot water. Worked like a charm. Don’t need to watch the entire 8 min video

    The screw on my 350 000 $ Patek Philippe was so tight that I had to use a sledgehammer!

    metal expands when heated; atoms vibrate more and need more room. The hole in the band may enlarge but so does the pin or screw.

    The purpose of heating it is to break the seal/integrity of the loctite they put on the screws, not to expand any metal.

      Most likely they are fakes 🤧 nobody will do that with an authentic AP, Rolex or Patek lol

    I have a Rolex that has threaded screws in the band and they don't go all the way through the band like a regular pin does. They screw into the link but the head is stripped off one and the other one the threads down inside the link so it won't back out it just spins and spins. I don't know what to do 2 places told me they can't fix it but honestly they didn't seem to even know what they were talking about I had to correct them several times on different things. Do you have any suggestions

      I recommend drilling it out as I did, then buy new replacement links on eBay for about $100 a link, good as new.

    yep, you're right. Thanks!
    wd40 + hot water, then a lil bit of force with watch removal pin + hammer (from my amazon 15$ ish kit) did the trick.
    Thank God.

    I have a Pagani Design PD1639. It has flathead screw links. One of them doesn't tighten up and keeps spinning in its hole. I can't figure out how to remove it.

      The drill is a last resort only if it is rusted, corroded, locktite, or stripped screws.
