Lagger 160 Posted February 25, 2017 Hello, Just got a zf 1312 and was changing the horrendous rep strap out when the quick release thing fell out.....is it fixable or is there a solution Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadApple 13,081 Posted February 25, 2017 Same thing happened to mine - what I do now is get the pin in, roll up a small bit of tin foil and push it into the hole and pack it down with a small screwdriver. Sounds Heath Robinson but it works !!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lagger 160 Posted February 25, 2017 Good idea with the foil, worth thinking about.......panerai spring bars? Googling them now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted February 25, 2017 Those things often break - even the gens. PAM springbars are probably the easiest solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lagger 160 Posted February 25, 2017 Is it a special type of bar or address these ok https://www.watchgecko.com/spring-bar-for-panerai-watches.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myaz 3 Posted February 25, 2017 Consider spring bars for both sides. If it happened @12, it could happen @6 but when it does, you will probably have the watch fall off the wrist over rocks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
