Panerai pin - what’s this part called?

[Bill_tong]

Does anyone know how to secure the round thing to hold the bar into place. Mine keeps falling out and the pin bar comes out.

What is this part called and where can I source a new one Incase I lose the current one I have?

That is the quick release strap button. I don’t think you can easily find a replacement for that, but you can get spring bars that will work and stay in place — they just won’t be quick release.

Thanks nalomb. Do you know how I can make the existing one stay in place. Even though I push the pin into place and both button and pin are secure, it some how comes lose again. How was it originally placed?

I'm actually not sure -- I'm pretty lucky in that the half dozen or so quick release PAMs I've had never have had this issue. My guess would be a combination of friction and glue/adhesive. Depending upon how courageous you are, it might make sense to place a SMALL dab of JB Weld or an epoxy mix -- again SMALL -- into the case and place the release button into the cavity. It might be good to place the bar in the quick release button to make sure its aligned correctly. That's about the best solution I can muster ...

Bummer! I just tossed out an old case with the button you are missing attached. Grrhhhhh Sorry man. Look for a cheap back up of the same watch for spare parts.

seems like it's the only option I have available, since I've seen no better responses. Thanks.
