Kaneda Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I just got my Pam 183 from Josh today and it is great, what I was curious about, however was how to change out the strap on it.. The wire lugs appear to be held in by four screws, I presume if I remove the screws I can take the lugs out, however the bit that hangs out doesn't look like it would easily slide through the band.. Ideas? comments? Enjoy the photos + wrist shots btw Thanks guys -kaneda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Nice watch, the 183 was my first nice rep. Yes, just unscrew each screw, you don't have to totally unscrew it, in fact its good to leave it in a bit so it doesn't get lost. Then pull the lugs away from the watch (there are actually four) and it should come right out. I've found you have to work it back and forth a bit to get the lugs back in and hold it while you tighten the screws to put it back on.

So if I am to understand you correctly, it's not a solid bar going through the strap, but infact two peices that stick into each end of the strap on each side.. Thanks for your reply btw. -Kaneda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Yes, each side of the watch actually has two seperate lugs. Enjoy, that watch can be a pain as far as strap changes go, it gets worse when one of the screws gets stripped or lost or stuck in the case. But the watch more than makes up for it.

Kaneda Posted October 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I think that I'll leave strap changes until they're absolutely nescessary... The rep strap that it came with is actually pretty nice soft leather.. I'm impressed.. I need to track down a 26/26 strap for my pam 203 though.. I was looking for bob straps on ebay.. decent prices although not quite awesome.. I was kind of hoping to get one of those really thick (5mm) straps... -Kaneda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
