Hi. I find it easier to change straps without tubes and seem to be not so tight on lugs without tubes as well. Is there a disadvantage to use straps without tubes? Thanks.

tubes are meant for screw-in models ie. Panerai Historic models. Not really for "quick strap change" models,cos they will not be "unscrew" from friction.Originally posted by GadgetGuy View Post

The tubes are there to keep the shape of loops, so it's better not to remove unless you find that you cannot insert the lug pins.
For Rads, there is a "collar" that connects the 2 halves of the lug pins. Most of the time, the tubes aren't big enough to accomodate the collar. So for Rads, no choice but to remove the tubes.
Hope this helps and wear your PAMs in good health

"Safety First" Go wif Tube
The main purpose to have tis tube is for prevention purpose.A screw insert into tube for free play....so to ensure no loosing screw thread cause by direct grip movement/rotation cause by the strap overtimes.Originally posted by GadgetGuy View PostComment

Thanks for the feedbacks.
Using qiuck release on my PAM but find that tubes on certain straps are very tight fit, that's why prefer without tubes. Maybe will look around for better fitting tubes. Hopefully JWWatch, etc should have tubes for sale.Comment

U may dip few drops of vaseline at the tube or the the strap hole do help.Originally posted by GadgetGuy View PostComment

Tube, no tube...
Bro GadgetGuy,
For me, no diff with or without tubes.
For a relatively brand new strap that grips your lug pin tightly, if you go w/o the tubes, watch for unscrewing action at the lug ends for the traditional "lug screw in" Pam models.
80% of my straps, no tubes.Comment

80% of my straps, no tubes. But pls be very care dealing case wif quick-release type. By high chance that direct rubbing against strap leather too often, leather particles may jam the bearing mechanism inside. Than.... "it gonna be Nightmate leh" why take chance right"
