The original buckle of the Cali is a..sewn in...one, hence no screws... :-) [nt]

So that means you need to unstitch the stitching on the strap

put in the new buckle and then stitch the strap back up.

A little too much work IMO so I'd just get a new strap and buckle smile

Cheers,
Anthony

Well, on the first 3646, you had to stitch the whole strap...

on to the case since the lugs were soldered to it. The sewn in buckle is an evolutionary step forward already...hahahaha smile
Ciaoooo

thanks for your response [nt]

he already got a new strap and just missing the buckle. 

Pepe, just measure the buckle end of your new strap carefully and get a new buckle that fits.   Panerai do make 24mm & 26mm polished screwed-on buckle in same style as the buckle that came w/ your California.     Needless to say, if you choose to go aftermarket, there're plenty around.    Perhaps you can even check w/ the vendor/shop where you bought your strap?
