Good afternoon all PAM lovers. I ordered a few straps from Panatime. Great value for money! And the delivery was superfast. I can recommend highly. Here is my PAM162F, which I ordered from Josh before XMas, on an SS bracelet. Now it is equipped with a great Vintage Panatime strap! Even though people say this model is off on the color of the subdials, I think it is a very nice watch, and it looks and feels like a gen, especially with this fat strap. The watch is totally different with a good strap! I don't think I will put it back on the SS bracelet again. It weighs too much with the bracelet, almost 250 grams. Thought I should share some pics of this combo, which is a great combo in my eyes. What do you think? This strap was very affordable, at only 49,99 USD. The strap is 5mm thick all the way, 24/24 and comes with a great PRE-V screw-in buckle. I did not bother to replace it with the REP Paneria buckle, this is equal or better, and pretty chunky. Despite the thickness, it is quite soft. This thickness perfectly complements the chunky look of the watch.I would say the whole strap is chucky as a Dodge RAM or Chevrolet Big-Dooley, if one can compare with cars;-) PS: also bought a GEN Python Vintage Gold strap for my PAM359. I think I have never seen a better combo, it matches the patina numerals and hands 100%, and the GEN reptile is so much nicer than the look-alike straps made of reptile-grain leather. Even this trap was not very expencive, only 58,99. The strap is quite thick, 4mm and is very soft and nice. Maybe would wish it to be a thad thicker, but it looks more elegant this way as it is. You can clearly see and feel the scales of the Python hide on this strap. It is just amazing. Pictures will come later. So, here is the PAM162F:
