Does anyone know where I can get one of these. Checked eBay and they are going for around £40! There must be reps about?

Ha ha yes I suppose that would do however I would prefer the 'correct' plastic one. Doesn't need to be the gen one though [emoji6]

They are -- too flimsy and will bend at the tip. Simply using the blunt end of a normal spring bar tool will do the trick.

I've heard cocktail sticks do the job just fine and don't damage the Watch

Yep, they do. Still doesn't prevent me from asking the TDs for the plastic tool when ordering a model with the quick release strap change system. :)

If I remember correctly some rep panerai boxes came with a rep straptool. Thus sourcing one should be possible.

But you'd be buying the boxes just for that tool. Just ask your TD nicely, he might just give you one. ;)

Followed the advice and asked my TD to include one with the watch which he has agreed to do! Result. Thanks

Here is my plastic tool. I asked it to Sead when I bought the PAM 364. Sead is a very nice guy and he got it for me.
