Attention
it is something to beware of. A watch could fall with all nasty damages as result.
Changing the strap maybe is the best way.
Do you call the AD?
A brand like Panerai must have it’s quality done right.
My cheap Tissot even have a save strap and well tighten pin buckle.
The screw of the pin buckle had been loosening up
by itself. I put Panerai on my wrist today and paid attention to the screw of the pin buckle that had been loosening up over the time. The watch itself had not been constantly in use but I have given it wrist time every now and then. Naturally it can be e...

Not all Loctite products are equal. Make sure you select a version designed for small screws.
Loctite 221 or 222 are two suggestions. I use 222. A very small quantity is needed. This product dispenses easily and you can get way too much. Put a small drop on wax paper. Use a toothpick to apply to female threads in the buckle. You can put some on th...
I ordered Loctite 222
from a local car sparepartshop. They didn't have it at the stock but they will get it on Monday. I have time to go there on Tuesday to get it.
