Does anyone here has any information for an original deployment buckle for Luminor base ? I would really like to purchase it as i feel safer to use it vs the tounge buckle . .. so as not to accidentally drop the watch when you take your watch on/off.

I once tried the aftermarket one, but it feels not comfortable enough to be worn though..

thanking you in advance.

The OEM deployant used to cost around $350 but it may have gone up. The aftermarket deployants are usually fine, so maybe you got a bad one.

I hear all the time that even the OEM deployant buckles are uncomfortable too. Just my opinion but Pams and Tangs just go so well together. Many strap options.

I found the OEM deployant uncomfortable when wearing the strap on the tighter side - loose its ok. But generally speaking, I also prefer the Tang buckle.

Thanks for the comment guys... yeah.. .maybe some of you are right, i tried the pam24 with original deployment buckle at the AD just to have a feel on it... it still doesn't go along very well with my wrist.. its a kind of "pinching" my inner wrist though .. maybe its just me..
