How to Loosen up Panerai Rubber straps

Recommended Posts

Pohoho

Hi all:

I have a rep Pan that comes with rubber straps but they are just a bit of a tight fit for the buckle so putting needs some pulling effort. You may be able to see the squeeze in this picture:

What are some way to loosen it up a little so that putting it on is a lesser sweaty affair?

 

I'm thinking of sanding it down with sandpaper but is concerned that the "sharpness" on the edges will be lost. Forcing the buckle to open a bit seems a job for a precise and delicate hand, which I've none.

 

Any other suggestions?

 

Thank you.

Thats a brilliant idea hounddoggie, talk about thinking outside the box. All this while I was focusing on the "problem" strap but the solution is the buckle!
