So mine is actually the new systemdo you think it could be defective then? I ended up bringing the screwdriver with me today to work.
Sad news. Mine - the one with the replaced new screw system - got loose, too. Not sure what that means.

Ooh no! Mine is currently being repaired to get this new screw system... Is this just a few weeks kind of tightening thing? Hope it will get better!Sad news. Mine - the one with the replaced new screw system - got loose, too. Not sure what that means.
you need to
it 
Oh no. You’d think they figured it out since the 1970s or within the last 10 years…
Hello excuse my ignorance, is this new secrew on the thick or thin love? Also do you have any pics of old and new since I got my first one last month for my birthday would love to see what I got. Thank you
Cams - The new/old screw discussion relates to the traditional wide Love bracelet. The thin Love has a completely different clasp and can be removed easily, the traditional is intended for 24/7 wear.

My SA claimed the screw had lubrication and to just keep an eye on it for a month which seems ridiculous since only one is loosening. I was browsing some old forums and it seems normal for the screw to loosen over time.. I’m just going to put locite on it for peace of mind.
Yes, to me, research and science has proven that it is natural for screws to loosen over time. There's several threads on this and some threads that I have written in as well. As for the old screw mechanism better than the newer ones, there's conversation on all 3 classic Love screw systems and users with all 3 state they all can loosen so I really don't think that there's a definitively superior screw system over any of the others.
Additionally, there's several users here who strongly believe in using Loctite, and I'm fast becoming one of those users. It does give peace of mind.

my bracelet will not go back together. i've loosened both screws as much as possible. it was a bit difficult to remove the other day and now i can't get it back together. i'm not sure if one of the screws should be loosened more but it's stuck. any ideas how to fix it?

Were you able to separate the two pieces entirely? There's a YouTube video that I posted before on the forums by a former SA at Cartier that shows you how she recommends tightening the screws on the Love, which my husband and I followed in order to place the Love on since I ordered from Cartier online.
Basically, you don't tighten one side entirely. You tighten one side a little and then go to the other side and repeat several times on each side until faced with resistance, and don't over-tighten when faced with resistance or you might strip the screws.
Thank you so much. just wondering why we all pay so much money and have so many issues with the item. Hopefully it all gets sorted.
Quick update:
My SA provided me every help on the Love. They even offered an exchange. Will watch for a few weeks and see.
p.s. As you all know the rainbows are definitely gone Either way you can't buy them or they fall off your wrist

yes i can get it apart but i can't get it back together. one side will not slide into the other (on the top set of screws). i always tighten by doing a bit on each side (back & forth).
