Strap insert??

[johnfish]

Follow tis basic rule- Learn to screw the right way )

As we know many of us as watch lover have limited techincal background " Alway remember to avoid using force when the initial male screw thread touches the female hole after insert into the case lugs Gently turn the screwdriver in anti-clockwise to help both male & female thread lead in the opening entrance" U should be able to feel a click , than u may start to turn in clockwise . When u don't see the screw moving inward....stop turning. Repeat anti-clockwise till u feel the click than attempt again in clock-wise " Lastly, i can only advise everyone to use tube on all your Pam" Is
better be safe than sorry bros & Sistos. Tis watch costing few grands aleast leh" Cheers

Always use tubes with watches that require them. Purpose is not only to prevent leather etc. from grabbing at the screw and undoing it, but tubes allow for the stress of the strap to be spread along the length of the screw to prevent damaging it.

Use them with the Historic and contemporary models systems

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

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

And noted your MORAL OF THE STORY! Hahahahaa....

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.

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

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

U r 100% right

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

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

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!

is not ok for all model.

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

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

[watchpassionist]

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

[Keith8896]

yes it is ok.
