I love my PAM104, but sometimes the deployant clasp bothers me. The clasp is a little too curved and digs into my wrist or the two push buttons do. All of my straps are compatible with the deployant so I don't quite want to swap the buckle out for a tang buckle. At home it's ok, but at the office I may be putting to much pressure on it.
How does your deployant feel?

The deployant sucks, plain and simple. But for me, most deployants suck, specially if they have the two push buttons on the side. I wear all my PAMs on tang buckle and that's the best for comfort.

Fortunately my wrist is small enough the deployant works okay for me but it's not the most comfortable one I have. Prefer my PAMs on tang.

I haven't had any experience with the deployant clasp on PAMs. But I do have on my other watches. Not a big fan of these but they fit okay. I have small wrists so it doesn't really bother me that much comfort wise. I prefer tang buckles.

Panerai makes the least comfortable deployant buckle of all the watch brands. But I get used to it and do have straps on tang to switch around.

maybe wear it a little looser? dunno. guess it's just the luck of the draw with the wrist.

All deployants (from any brand) are not as comfortable as a tang bickle for me.

The one on my old 88 would pinch the hell out of me. Hated it.
And don't get me started on that ingenious micro screw that I lost 8 times before stripping it. Awful, Awful design.

The only benefit to a deployant is a) minimizes strap wear and b) reduces chances of accidentally dropping watch.

And c) looks cool.
