Radiomir wire lug screws

[Ducman]

So what can be done if the screws that lock the wire lugs in place are fudged up?

I did just receive a high end 388 rep. I did attempt to change the strap myself. Two of the screws turn out just fine, two will turn but do not extract out from the case. Indicates to me that at least some of the engagement thread of the screw or case or both is stripped.

Is there a repair that can made to the case itself or is my only option to transfer the guts to a new case?

Shame is I ordered a custom second strap same time I ordered watch and now have no way to ever use it.

Btw it really is a beautiful watch.

Try to push bit out from the other side of the screw, then slowly turn the screw. It happen same as my pam029

^^^That would be hard to do if the lug wire has not come out yet though.

Yes, this is exactly the case. Wire lugs are still in place so no way to push screws out.

I really like the look of this 388... But I want it on my new brown strap. Someone must have an idea of how I can remove these lug screws. Sure I'm not first. Anyone know of it is typically the case or the screw itself that strips?
