Hi All. I just recently picked up my first Panerai (Radiomir) off of RWI recently (budget tier just to see how I like) and when looking to switch out the strap, I could see that the majority of the set screws were pretty gummed up, making it difficult to unscrew / screw back into place. Worse yet, I made the mistake (in my opinion) of fully taking out the set screws instead of just loosening them enough to pull out the bars, only to then find it pretty difficult, even with a pair of tweezers, to get the screws back into place.
At any rate, as fate would have it, one of the screws sprung out of my tweezers and flew somewhere across the room, never to be found again / sacrificed to the Panerai gods for the rest of eternity.
To this end, I'm trying to figure out, if possible, the size of these screws in order to replace, w/o having to purchase an entire replacement bar set with screws (found one on eBay for about $30). I'm hoping / assuming I can't be the only one that this has ever happened to, but if so, accept the (dis)honor of having set a new precedent
.
Any insight is appreciated.
