Rubber strap friction/noise
Hey all,
Just got a submersible 1229c which I completely love. This is my 3rd Panerai and I have always been in love with the rubber strap options. For the first time, I am noticing that the rubber material on this purchase is not as smooth as the other straps I’ve had previously with the 312 and 1313. There is certainly more noticeable friction when the strap is going thru the rubber loops, which is more of an observation than actual problem. Just sorta annoying, since my old ones had complete silky smooth pass thru. However what is super annoying is the squeaking noise the rubber strap is making against the lugs/case, due to the friction and stickiness of the rubber material. I can’t say for sure, but feel if it was the softer/smoother rubber, it may not be making as much noise. Anyone else have the same issue?? Is there any method anyone knows of to help lessen the rubbing of leather and steel, thus eliminating the noise? Would be super appreciative!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
