Pam Steel bracelet

[cyberwarhol]

Hi all, I am wondering if anyone out there can help me. I have picked up a steel bracelet through m2m sale. The bracelet is off of an older (noob) model of Pam 236.
Originally I wanted to put it on my Pam 186 but the alignment of the holes are not close enough. I proceed on trying it on the 111 V3 and also the 029, and they were even further apart.

Anyone with any experience of what I should do? Or maybe I have to drill out the bracelet hole slightly to fit?

Thanks for your help.

Its not going to fit because its made for the new style case with the notches for the endlinks. You can drill all day and it will never fit.

NCchef is right

So I guess I will have to sell it?

Or I could machined the "notches" away?

 

[NCchef]

No. That won't work either. The endlinks would flop in the lugs. The older style cases used a bracelet with tabs that Pressed against the backside of the lugs.

So I guess my only solution is to sell it then? Since it will have no use for me....

Unless you have a modern case you would be better off selling it.

On the same subject... Are there any steel braclets out there (that dealers are able to source) that would fit the PAM111?
