Icon20 Is it possible to use deployment buckle on a pin buckle strap.

All of my oem straps are for pin buckle. Can I use deployment buckle with my pin buckle straps?

Yes, i believe you can.

If you do go deployant (single, not butterfly) you might find reversing the straps (6 o'clock bottom goes to 12 o'clock top position, and 12 goes to 6) achieves a better fit.

I don’t think so as the middle cut out is smaller on pin/buckle strap but that was with the oem butterfly clasp. I have tried it the other way with a deployment strap with a pin buckle and that does work but the middle hole is a bit sloppy but works.

It depends on the strap. Some are too thick to fit into the deployant. You’ll notice on the Panerai website they offer some straps in both configurations. The deployant straps don’t have as thick of a bolster in the strap.
