Hi all. This specific Navitimer has been through a lot. When I got it, it was beat up and not running. After a bit of care, it has served me quite well for the past 10+ years.

I noticed when I was changing its straps, which had quick release spring bars, that one side wouldn't fit. Measured it and turns out it's 21.5mm and it should be 22mm.

I don't notice any dent or sign of blunt force on the lugs. Any theories on how something like that could happen? More importantly, anything I can do to fix it or should I just move on?
