Oh man, I feel for you...

I'd have it looked at, you don't want to risk stripping the threads in the lug if it is off center with the other lug. Does the screw turn?

So sorry, you must have bent the lug. Ouch. I don't know what Panerai could even do with that.

Just got back from Richemont(singapore).

Left the watch there for them to fixit.

As for how i drop it, I am not too sure what happent to me.
This is the 1st time I drop a watch.

I took it off and ready to lay it down on my table (is a regular thingy). Somehow my mom - in - law walk past me, I got a shock.

The next thing I know - watch is on the floor. Yes the "leg" / "lug" / "horn" is bent, resulting the screw cannot be turn (either way).


BTW have to cut my strap before the repair can be done

Now my question is how to fix this?
Never know that having a pam is so "troublesome"
