danielv2000 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 So it looks like the flip lock pin has come loose. It's sliding in and out. Is this something that can be replaced? It looks like there should be a pin with a head at both ends. If you look at the picture you can see it sticking out.

panerai153 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Daniel , Most supply houses have these pins, just need to know the length. I have replaced these before, but I can't remember the length. Ofrei and Startime in the USA and I'm sure cousins in UK has these pins.

danielv2000 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I finally received the replacement pin. Dumb question but what do you suggest I use to squeeze the smaller pin into the larger pin? A small hammer? Pliers? I'm afraid of breaking the small pin.

Nanuq Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Put the watch on its side on the kitchen counter, hold the tiny pin with tweezers and use a table knife as a hammer to tap it in. Easy squeasy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
