Watch Stem Extensions

[MWNAWR]

Is the stem extension secured only by the thread of the original stem,or do I need to secure it with locknut ? I do realise that when re-attaching crowns locknut is put on the stem. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

I think you mean loctite, not locknut. The answer is yes, it's a good idea to secure the extension with loctite.

Many thanks for the information Geo. I will get some soon.

Locktite 222...or similar.

Agree. With out loctite the extension can easily un-screw from the original stem.

I agree, thread lock for good measure, I strongly suggest the semi permanent, not permanent strength, in case you do need to make adjustments afterwards (even if it's years down the line.) semi permanent will definitely make it 100% secure screwed in reasonably tight, anything more is overkill.
