Thanks!

Hi all, it's been a while since I posted one of my projects so here is one for you to share your thoughts on.

I am curious what you think. Since this strap is not entirely mainstream , I can imagine that tastes differ. Personally, I think you can do lot's of nice things wit a (black) Pam. This strap does not fit my pam 111 but I'm sure I will make another one to fit it. With a chrome buckle this one looks rather classy.

This Pam shouted to me "make me something special" and since I have a taste for something differentI thought to myself that it is a good time to give red a chance again ..

The details:

- The top layer is 2 mm thick leather patinated by myself using several oils, dyes and creams. The base is vegetable tanned leather of very good quality. The red has a very deep color that looks different depending on the lighting. I opted for a transition from the deep red at the lugs fading gradually to almost black. This blends nicely with the black buckle (buckle).

- The inside part of the strap is made of very soft black anti-allergic leather. This time no additional intermediate layer so that the thickness is limited up to 3-3,5mm so it can be worn on a Panerai deployant.

- The sides are not finished with a high gloss coating, but are burnished by hand.

- The length of the strap is 75/140 (my size) and the width 26/24

-For The stitching I used 0,77mm thick french cotton thread by the brand "Fil Au Chinois Lin Cable". Experts know that there is nothing like it ;-)

Maybe a few pictures ...

Let me know what you think if you can spare the time.

well, you did a great job there! congrats

Damn shame! whish alle the people out there good luck and good health. hope this will come to a halt soon.

u got the cheap version, canal one(

hope u paid less than $100

thought it was listed around 220$

can you point out why this one is any different?

just received this Pam 505 from a m2m deal and would like your opinion on it. This is not the KW version but a different one. it can be found at Trusty, and it has following specs

MOVEMENT:Asian Seagull 25J Automatic Movement, Cut Out Design Rotor as per Genuine

CASE DIAMETER:47mm

THICKNESS:15.5mm

DIAL COLOR:Brown Patina Dial, Patina Lume Hour Markers and Needles

Remarks:Not Superlume... But very good Lume Hour Markers on Dial and Needles

CASE MATERIAL:SolidStainless Steel 316, Thick PVD Black Coating

Personally I think the dial color is a bit too orange, at least it does nkt match the origina or KW version but overall the watchis in good shape. It runs verry smooth and the rotor sounds very light.

The thing I would like to know is who made it? can any of you help me out here?

not the best pic, sorry for that. if you need more, just let me know.

Found some on this site, a bunch I REALLY like.

Should I buy from them or not?

Don't!

How stunningly superb is that! Great to hear the watch found it's way back. Keep it safe :-)

My beloved 111 on custom strap

Strap looks pretty good! Getting the edge finish right is the only problem that I have when making my own straps nowadays, so I opt to leave the natural look. Good stuff, and it's a lot of fun to make your own straps.

@jpz5142: The line that you see is actually a cut line typically made with a 'v' notch tool to open just below the surface and help to make sure that all holes will line up perfectly while threading. I personally do not do this with my straps and instead eye everything up carefully, so it may take me a little longer to hand stitch than others, but I like the look a bit more. Hope that helps!

Thanks!

As you might have seen, I only sometimes do this. Main reason to create the groove is to lie the stitching deeper in order to prevent damaging it. When I like a rougher look I tend to leave the groove behind.

Finished my work on this custom strap. The deep green is contrasted by the white stitching. On request the inside part of the strap is anti allergic very light grey (close to white). Undeveloped my own procedure and am now able to coat the edges in any color I want.

Please do comment as I am posting to learn.

Lol, welcome!

Kerry looks as cheap as his watch though...

Too late for a wristie, but this one wears super. My Pam 111 on a custom and aged strap

From a td here. They said be patient and they would ask the maker to change it.

How long is patient?

If a woman asked you to be patient, it means forever...

I know that feeling.... had an issue with one of my first reps. Got it open, dismantled the movement and found a tiny, tiny issue, ordered some parts and was proud as hell when I closed the case and it ran like new.

Good job!

Thanks guys! :-)

After 6 days in the ocean!

Wauw, look like a lost treasure! I like it.

This Strap is going to develop some patina over time and I personally love the tone of color. Strap is made by me and I am always looking forward what you guys think of it.

On to the pics....

I like the Snoopy, too. The first thing that jumped out to me wasn't Snoopy, though. It was the face the 12 o'clock marker looks like a [censored] and balls.

I actually like the YM.

You see, that's why I thought of that tattoo... ah well, let's not spoil this topic.

Yep, it looks like crap...

I bet you can get big money for it if the story is right on e-bay....

(Just kidding)

Ya, I'm liking that new Silver speedy.

I just wish it didn't have a picture of Snoopy on it. Totally ruins it for me. I know the point of it, but I don't want a stupid cartoon character on my watch.

Agreed, interesting case shape and nice tones on the dial. I probably like that the best of these on the page, but the cartoon pic blows it for me. Also from 12 to 3 there is text that says "what could you do in 14 seconds" which is somewhat odd for a watch dial. Like to see it with those two things removed......

And snoopy is talking too.... So what are we supposed to accomplish in 14 seconds? Imagine snoopy tattooed on your woman's ass telling you that failure is not an option....but on a watch...nope, not for me.

Not sure why this comes to mind...

I see great opportunity for the rep companies though. A nice silver snoopy without, the dog and comments. That will be a collector's item.
