Pam 203 Lug Thread Worn Off

[viper]

Hello,

I'm new to this forum, great site by the way!

I've been collecting Panerai reps for quite a while, and the question is, my Pam 203 lug hole thread has worn off, is there any method to salvage the situation, the screws still emit a click anti-clockwise before normal rotation, but when tightening, it just goes on and on. Hope it does not fall off when I'm wearing the watch.

Thanks in advance for your kind advice and attention.

Regards,

Pat

You can fill the hole with epoxy, screw the screw in place, clean off the extra epoxy, let it harden, and the screw won't fall out.

There is no real practical way to insert new threads, a helicoil is not available in that size...

Thank you The Zigmeister, you have been most kind. I will heed your advice and try it out over the weekend!
