Keeping 20mm PAM Deployant Closed

Any tips on keeping my deployant clasp closed?
It seems to take me a few tries to get it closed and it pings open too easily.
Is there something I can tweak on the clasp to make it more secure?
Or a knack to putting it on?

Ditch it. Once it goes that way, you will never feel secure and might lose the watch. Buy a gen one if you like pams and find deployants comfortable (i don't and can't wear them, rep or gen...).

I don't think it's quite at the 'ditch it' stage yet but I guess it's heading that way if there's no fix/adjustment.

I think the strap in the keepers helps. I'm pretty confident it's not going to open unexpectedly. It's more that sometimes I think it's done up and it isn't but when that happens it's pretty clear straightaway.

You can pick up a replacement clasp from panatime. Not gen but it will work correctly and much cheaper.

isn t really difficult, all deployant buckle have small screws to give more or less pressure on the fixed part .they are below the pushers, you just need a small screwdriver , i show you there on few pics..regards

Thanks - I'll have a look.

Mine is the 20mm Radiomir deployant but I guess it has the same adjustment.

Well I've had another look and really can't find any adjustment on the Radiomir deployant.

Have had the same issue with the rad 288 deploy clasp not wantig to stay closed securely.
Think on mine it may be an issue with the little balls on the part of the clasp that closes not sticking out far enough or not having enough resistance to stay closed in the mechanism.
A little tug from a coat or pant pocket on the strap and the clasp opens.
No adjustment mechanism on the rad clasp as the other Pam types.
Either need to try and secure another style like the one referenced above or as in my case have just moved to a buckle.
Unfortunate bc the rep rad deploy clasp really does look nice

Mines a 288 too.
I've got a nice strap and buckle inbound but it would be nice to have the option.
I guess it just isn't to be.
