Re: Gap between band & watch head?

Actually , the second batch of pins were from Omega PA so I don't think that is the problem. I do know that I've had a hard time getting the pins in and out and scratched up the lugs on the back and the inside even though I used the proper tool. I am paranoid to try it again as I may cause further damage..
Thank you for your reply Derek

: Not much to go wrong, as Omega uses solid end
: pieces.

: By any chance, could the pins you are using be
: of a smaller diameter than the factory
: original ones?
