Laureato bracelet issue

Jul 09, 2021,13:13 PM
 

So really enjoying the Laureato overall, but I have had an issue with one of the link to link connections being overly stiff, the bracelet does not move freely in that area which end up being a minor visual issue but a major comfort problem.

As you can see from this picture the bracelet bends freely with gravity in its entirety except in the portion right next to the case at 6.






I have tried wearing it for a week and even took it into the shower and gave it a good scrubbing with soap and hot water to no avail.

Any input would be much appreciated.

Remove and check the lug bar. It may be binding or very slightly bent.

Loctite!

Thank you both for the suggestions

I removed and replaced the lug bar, it’s fine. Might be seeped loctite, that makes sense. Will just take it in. Hate it when this stuff happens

Seems ok
