Panerai Bracelet (Still doesn't fit!!!)

[ShadowB]

Ok i'm about to shoot myself, URGH.

Received DNS PAM111 (with correct dial) and i'm about to mount it on the panerai ss bracelet... YUPP DOESN'T F**** FIT!

Same deal as when i tried to fit it on my PAM212 (except its a much closer fit but doesn't fit).

I bought ~$100 of tools to try and 'mod' it. From carbide tips to a bench drill adapter for my dremel.

After 3 hours trying to modify it, it still won't fit and i'v had it. I tried enlarging the hole, no go, ss is way to hard to drill. I tried to change the curve of the end link, no go, still won't fit... I did bring the link to 3 different jewelry shop and they will NOT touch SS steel.

Who can sell me end links of various 'fit' so i can try to mix and match... Because i'm sick of this thing and i REALLY want to fit my PAM111 to the bracelet...

Or if someone lives and Canada and think they can help...

A fellow RWI told me it takes lots of grinding and patience, so i will attempt more of that tomorrow...

Wish me luck X.X

Yep, sad to say, but that's the truth of it. Who told you that a DSN case would work? DSN's cases have shorter lugs than "normal" rep cases. Although, he has been using a mix of "his" and "normal" rep cases lately. Sounds like you may have gotten one of "his" cases.

The seller did.

I spent more time grinding it, but the end links are just plain wrong, its a waste of time (and money paid $75 for it... $100 for the adapter to tool it) urgh.

I'll suck up the costs, and just get a nice black croc strap with deployment.
