I know a few guys around here have had this watch and was wondering if anybody else has had the same problem. Basically sometimes the pin that holds the watch strap in place pops out, thus the watch comes off. This has happened quite a few times. I cant figure out how it pops out I've pulled on it etc when its reassembled, but i cant figure it out. I took it to a watch shop to see if they could do anything but the guy said it looked fine. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on how to fix it? I feel as though I've been very lucky not to have lost it yet...
 
I'd replace the springbar(s) (what you call pins) and see what that does. Assuming that it is the same one coming loose each time I'd guess the internal spring isn't strong enough.
 
I had a problem with the pins that keep the SS band together. I tried just pushing them back into place still after a few days they would work loose. I then used a small drop of super glue on all of them, If it is your spring-bar I would just replace them both at the same time.

Get some new heavy duty springbars and a new strap. If one springbar comes loose or breaks you don’t loose the whole watch.
 
I had the opposite problem with a Luminox pin that couldnt be removed.
I'd just buy some new pins, they are cheep and that will fix the problem :thumbup:

A strap that goes under the watch like a zulu or something will keep the watch even if one pin comes out.
