I love my Panerai 422 and I wear it every single day and it's great but I keep having to screw in the strap screw every 4-5 days because it gets loose, what gives? Should I order new set of screws?

Wouldn't that make it get stuck permanently?

No. If you put a drop of mild strength glue on the threads that will also work.

do you have tubes between the strap and the screw? just stainless steel tubes that prevent friction between the leather and screw

Loctite 242 or its upgraded sibling Loctite 243, will both do just nicely.
