Strap Adjustment

Does anyone have any advice on how to to minor strap adjustments? I have a Pam 90 and it used to fit perfectly but I've lost some weight and now all of my straps are too big. They are not big enough to go to the next hole in the strap and I certainly don't want to make a new hole myself...

Any ideas?

Many thanks.

Scott

Same should apply for strap, but I wouldn't do it

assuming you are using a tang buckle, click here for some advice.

Try a different buckle. Buckles are different sizes and hence fit differently. A smaller buckle would likely get you back to your original hole and a larger buckle would likely get you to the next bigger hole.

If you are talking deployants, I'm not sure.

Sell them all and get new custom straps.

Congrats on the weight loss! Must have been significant if you went down a notch on your straps.
Cheers!

Combine the weight loss and the weather getting cold, ALL my watches need adjusting. :)

The tang video helped.

Thank you.
