Thanks for your input. I have a OEM IWC 3714 strap, a OEM Cartier Santos strap and I like the look, sleekness and feel. Was really wondering if any of the gen PAM watches came with straps like this or not. So far, the PAM straps I've seen are fairly bulky making it impossible to fit under my dress shirts.
I will soon have in my possession an MBK Nautilus from Reg with correct dots. I think the only thing that'll bug me is the position of the date window. Because of the superior fit and finish of MBKs Nautilus, I'll prefer it to be the base for the project. For a watch of this caliber, this is critical. My plan is to use the latest 1:1 Jumbo Nautilus movement and dial from the cartel and implant it in the MBK Nautilus. Not sure if this would even be possible...
