Muttsta Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I recently picked up a PAM 111 and a strap for it from HKTAN. It is a hornback crocodile strap, so quite thick. I have the following buckle that came with it: http://www.toggleswitches.cn/wimages/panerai_strap_buckle_24mmbuckle_SS.jpg My problem is that I find the strap impossible to undo once I get it on. I've literally had to unscrew the strap off of my wrist because I simply cannot pull the metal pin out of the strap. I think the issue is that the strap is thick, and perhaps this is not the best buckle for it? Does anyone have any tips? It simply isn't wearable the way it is now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 That can happen with thick strap. Are you able to flex it in the offending area of the strap? Can you post a side profile pic of the strap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donerix 2.0 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Enlarge the holes one size and you should be fine. Any shoe repair place can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttsta Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Here are two quick iPhone photos. I am able to bend the strap in the offending area, with great difficulty, to undo the buckle. But definitely not while it is on my wrist. I am not sure how much each individual hole can be enlarged as they are fairly close together. I'm considering making these six holes, into three larger ones (combine two into one). Is this a good idea or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
