Broke the screws of my 111H and got it stuck in the lughole. :(

I was going to take out the bracelet and replace it with a new strap on my 111h.

The screw is so tight at the end and eventually broke and got stuck in the lughole.

I tried the other side and the screw breaks again. I didn't apply a lot of force, but the screws are just too weak.

So this is what I end up with: a broken bracelet, a 111h with a broken screw stuck in the lughole.

I have a few other panerai and the screws are very easy to take out. Don't know what I did wrong.

I guess I have to get a new case, maybe from Jimmy@ebay. Well, if anyone has an extra case to sell, let me know.

The good news is now I have to get another new watch to wear on Thursday.

That sucks, I found that the Pams that come with the bracelets shouldn't be removed for this reason, this happened to me twice, except i managed to restore one of them, the other, the screw would never go back in all the way.

same here... drill it out.

You will be better off getting a new case... drill or whatever will damage the case so it wont be the "SAME" anymore.
