Panda strap to bracelet change NOT possible ???
I went into my AD this aft. to swap out the strap from my Panda to an OEM bracelet for the summer. Now I have never had this bracelet on the Panda but have switched in on and off my diver several times when I had it. After waiting for 30 minutes the AD service tech comes in and to my surprise tells me that he cannot get the bracelet to attach. He removed the plots and the strap and the bracelet seems to be a perfect fit (its OEM) into the plot openings but when he goes to put the screws in they dont fit and do not seem to go all the way through to the plots in order to secure the them.Am I missing something ? Are there different screws needed for this ? Why would the bracelet easily attach to the AP diver and not a Panda....same case, same size? Please help TIA !

Has anybody downsized to 42mm?
My 44mm PAM 233 only comes out of the safe every couple of weeks. I had a 40mm PAM 48 for 8 years until my wife claimed it. For the past 6 years I've had a succession of 44mm Luminors (177->390->112->233). 233 is a great reference but now I'm not sure after all this time whether I'm burned out on the brand or just the size of the watch. Enter the 42mm Radiomir 1940 PAM 574. I like the look (aside from the green strap which I'd switch out immediately) & the thinner profile seems perfect. Spring bars on a PAM still seem odd to me, but unlike the little screws on the base models I can swap out the strap without scratching the lugs. I've never been a fan of the tan lume of the 512-- my 390 was a quick flip for that reason.I'll post a pic when I get a chance. Has anybody else downsized? How did it work out?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
