Do Longer Pam Deployment Clasps Exist?

[Alan_Schezar]

Hello,

I recently bought a PAM104 from Joshua (looks great BTW!) that came with a black calf strap with a deployment clasp. It works fine, but the clasp is too short... I can't open the clasp and slide the watch over my hand and on to my wrist. And I do not have big hands. They're in between a medium and a large glove size.

So to put the watch onto my wrist, I need to move the clasp to the furthest hole to make the strap opening the widest, then slide the watch over my wrist, then move the clasp to a nearer hole to make the strap fit snug on my wrist, then close the clasp. To take off my watch, it's the same thing in reverse! It takes a while to do this too, since you're using one hand...

I figure that if the deployment clasp was longer, then I could keep the clasp set in the hole that I want, then just open and close the deployment whenever I want to put on or take off my watch.

Does Panerai make such a clasp?

Any help or recommendations would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Are you opening both sides of the clasp? My hands are much bigger than my wrist, but it fits over my hand fine... You must have some big hand:wrist ratio going on there

either that or he wears the watch extremely Tight!!

had this problem before...you have big hands! try putting the watch on upside down when going over your hand. more clearance this way.

I have never seen a longer clasp but I have seen longer deployment straps.

As mentioned make sure both sides of the clasp are open when you put it over the hand.

If still too small then upgrade from 115/75mm deployant strap to 125/85 strap, (the size I use for my

8.25 inch wrist).
