How to Change a Panerai Radiomir With Wire Lugs

[@rhino202]

Great video. Thinking about a Black Seal and this clarified things and eased my mind

[@HL-OOI]

❤️ all your how-to vids..very sharp and clear..not too sure why all Radiomirs do not come with screw driver ..😁

[@okayguy]

This is a great video. Thanks for sharing. Worked perfectly

[@WatchesbyOliverSmithJeweler]

One of our older videos, but happy to hear it's held up!

Saludos cordiales, mi panerai entre los cables que sujetan las correas tiene una asa de plástico para dar mas sujecion y no se doble la correa, ya ni vienen con esa asa hoy en dia? . De antemano gracias por la respuesta

Thank you!

Great video.. thank you !

Hi Elizabeth, thanks for making this video. Super helpful! One question, do the 45mm Radiomir OEM straps for the wire lug models need the steel tubes that come with the standard Luminor straps? No tubes needed? Thank you!!

[@WatchesbyOliverSmithJeweler]

Hi Josh, no I don't believe I have ever seen the steel tubes used for the Radiomir with wire lugs. I'm not sure it would all fit so best to go without - Elizabeth

Thanks Elizabeth, you have a new subscriber in me. Best.

[@WatchesbyOliverSmithJeweler]

Thanks David! We appreciate it. 😁

[@giangvu7902]

Awesome tutorial thanks!

[@redzuan6425]

Will those screws come loose? Do we need to check their tightness often?

[@WatchesbyOliverSmithJeweler]

Not often, and you can feel when they begin to come loose

[@redzuan6425]

@@WatchesbyOliverSmithJeweler thank you

[@bensonchang8657]

Very helpful! Do you mind sharing the model of the strap you are using? Looks way better! I'm thinking to replace my 721 as well. Thanks!

[@WatchesbyOliverSmithJeweler]

The straps in this video are MX006GJF (assolutamente) and MX00946P (canvas). Thanks for watching!

[@giovanidiamonds]

Thank you so much! Excellent

[@R0R0tw]

Very helpful video ! Thanks a lot !!!

[@WatchesbyOliverSmithJeweler]

We are glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching!

[@ignaciogelabertarrieta9939]

Could you share the size of the screwdriver? Any brand you recommend? Thank you

[@WatchesbyOliverSmithJeweler]

This is a screwdriver provided by Panerai, it measures 1.6mm in size

[@uptheorg]

I use a 1.4mm by Bergeon -- it comes on Amazon with a couple of extra "heads" for when it starts to deteriorate.

[@KiwiDJ]

@@uptheorg Agreed. 1.4mm is the size you want for Radiomir wire lug models.

[@Andrew-nn4ml]

Elizabeth - what strap do you have on your Panerai? Great looking, love the colour and style?

[@WatchesbyOliverSmithJeweler]

The brown leather strap is Panerai's calf assolutamente strap. The green canvas strap has unfortunately been discontinued, although Panerai now makes canvas straps in quite a few other colors as replacements.

[@Andrew-nn4ml]

@@WatchesbyOliverSmithJeweler Hi Elizabeth - I mean the strap on the Panerai you're wearing on YOUR watch, the watch you have on, almost looks Burgundy in colour at this mark in the video (approx) 5:19-5:21

[@WatchesbyOliverSmithJeweler]

@@Andrew-nn4ml Sorry about that, yes you're correct it was a burgundy alligator strap. Also unfortunately discontinued. The closest you can get via Panerai would be a dark red shiny alligator strap that they make for the Due collection

[@Andrew-nn4ml]

@@WatchesbyOliverSmithJeweler Thanks - gorgeous strap and watch, Panerai and straps....lol!

[@edgaringoa1]

For better precision the lugs should have been connected to each other via a screw mechanism so they aligned perfectly before you insert them into the watch case. A marking on the lugs would ensure the right spot and torque.

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

Um no. It works perfectly fine as it is.

[@sahtemehdiavcstarkd8712]

Thx great video

[@bak2mb]

where to buy those little screws that goes in the wire lug? thanks

[@es2729]

We recommend calling a Panerai boutique, the generally should have extra strap changing parts available!

[@bryanryan4504]

I dunno I'm a bit disappointed that the wire lug is not straight through. But only ends, like a "fake" wire lug. Wondering if this how it was traditionally or just a recent modern, cost cutting iteration of the radiomir wire lug?

[@WatchesbyOliverSmithJeweler]

Hey Bryan, in my experience the lugs on the wire lug have always had a little curvature to them. Did you notice they tend to stick out to the sides? I believe that is to help hold the lugs in place when in the case. Just takes a little extra work to get them in. - Elizabeth

[@albertopolini1970]

You don’t need to remove the screws completely to take off the lugs….it could be a big risk of loosing them

[@李承勳-o9y]

be careful of scratches.

[@ripperx444]

those lugs look so flimsy... if my kid pulls on my wrist those will rip apart in the middle

[@WatchesbyOliverSmithJeweler]

They do look small and easy to move when pulled away from the case. But once screwed in there is not any movement. We have yet to see any pulled apart, but I guess that depends how strong your kids are!

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

Then don't wear a watch.
