You should really try to do it yourself. It literally only takes 2 or 3 minutes to do a strap change including the buckle.
Why spend an hour, 2, or 3 to drive to your local Panerai Boutique, wait for Panerai staff to do your strap change, and then drive back home? Not worth the time and trouble IMO

Changing strap on PAM292?
I received my new 292 black ceramic Radiomir today and promptly ordered a new strap for it. However, reading the instruction manual tonight, I discovered that the instruction manual provides instructions for changing the strap, but then specifically says ...
I have been religiously
getting the strap change on mine at the boutique for fear of having any scratch on the ceramic case which would not be easily repairable/polishable. Moreover, the screws are just PVD'ed so quite prone to scratch. As such I would want someon at the boutiqu...
I change mine a lot...
...but the PVD on the screws has definitely worn off somewhat and the 292 is the only rad that I know of with finicky plastic bits on the ends of the lugs that go into the watch... These add a tiny bit more complexity and stress to the deal... All that sa...
All Rad's are the same
You can do it, that being said if you live by a Boutique (I live by BHB), then sure might as well take it to the Boutique. I had them put my GSD CH2 on.
First of all...

Thanks, GSD and screwdriver?
Great forum, thanks everyone. I ordered a GSD TMoro with old gold stitching which Greg suggested looks particularly good on the 292. I do not live near a boutique, although there is an AD I pass by once or twice a month. But I'd really like to be able to ...
I would always have my strap changed by the boutique
With a few exceptions, but in all case, having it changed by a professional is always better! Cheers Stephen

Agree with Anthony
It's really easy once you get the hang of it. At first, I was also scared of changing the straps on my Rad. Only takes a few minutes with the proper technique.
