GIVEAWAY: Travel To Geneva, Build An In-House Frederique Constant, Keep The Watch
First Place Prizewatches-dealer and Swiss watch maker Frederique Constant present you with a very special giveaway opportunity. This month you can win an all-expenses paid trip to Geneva, Switzerland to visit the Frederique Constant/Alpina manufacture. There you will sit with their watch makers and construct an in-house made Frederique Constant manufacture movement and watch all by yourself. And as a little souvenir, you'll get to keep your new self-made timepiece. On top of that, I will be going with you to share in the experience. There are also second and third-place prizes.Frederique Constant began producing their own in-house made movements a few years ago. Some of those movements are also in Alpina watches which are built under the same roof. The winner will have some choice as to what watch they'd like to assemble. This is a rare, once in a lifetime opportunity for most people and I am happy to give watches-dealer readers a chance to experience it.Prior experience is not necessa

Adjusting an oyster bracelet
I've bought an oyster bracelet 97200 and before fitting it to the watch I need to add the 3 additional links that came with it. I've ordered a Bergeon 1.6mm screwdriver and my question is how important it is to apply loctite to the threads?
