[Hairymonster]

Any brother kindly advise the application on the Strap steel insert?

For some after mkt rubber strap which not able to install strap insert, is it ok to fit on w/o 1?

thanks

[Watcha]

yes it is ok.

[Keith8896]

yes it is ok.

is not ok for all model.

Ok only for those with quick relase, those screw still need the metal tubes.

bro... a post by Johnfish, use those pen with plastic refill and cut to same length. It works fantastic.

Tube is a preventive measure to prevent screws from falling off from the watch case. falling off or coming loose

I always thought its the other way round..for those with quick release, you'd need the tube to prevent scraping the leather and pushing them into the quick release mechanism. This has happened before and Panerai wanted a case change (which is pretty much like almost buying a new watch!) if I'm not mistaken as quick change mechanism repair is not possible...

My understanding is the one 1 posted.
Tubes are needed due to the nature of leather that will unscrew it (if w/o tubes).
While the quick release is fine due to it locking mechanism.

Be safe - use it

...yes..to tube or not to tube..that is the question!!...oh one more thing I remember now, for screw down types, the movement of the tubes as you screw in can actually "eat" into the lugs (esp if the tubes are not properly secured in the strap)...hence you can see the imprint of the tubes on the lugs if you are not careful!

Yes bro u r right, Quick change case no repair at all.... only alternatives change casing abt $3000. I've histories on that.

Hi watchpassionist bro, does it means, screw in type like 111 can be repair if the lines are screwed up? Thanks in advance!

I'm afraid not, too. If the screw lines in the case is 'screwed' , you will also need to change the whole case. I heard this from a friend previously. He 'screwed up' the screw threads and approached Richemont for help. The watch tech gave him two options, i.e. to change the whole case (I've forgotten the watch model) or "locked up" the pins permanently. This would mean friend has to live with the same watch strap for a long time.

Thanks Ocean bro for the clarification. This is sad! Better be more careful not to "screw" up the screw threads. :P

The screws are softer and tends to cross thread before the case thread damaged, but of course if forced too often the case thread will be cross threaded and case need to be change.... moral of the story never use forces to screw, implies to human being too

Maybe you can share with your friend to get the spring-bar pin. "heard say" very good.

"The screws are softer and tends to cross thread before the case thread damaged". Great to hear they have such design in purpose eh.
