glassreplica Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hi there - I have a Pam 111h ultimate from DSN which is a around 2 years old now and used as a weekend watch. It still runs perfectly and whilst I upgraded to a Kain heritage thick leather strap a while back, I am now considering a gen panerai strap to finish it off. Firstly, how much should I expect to pay for a gen leather pam strap and where is it best to source one? Secondly, has anyone got a 111 on a gen strap and could you post pictures so that I can see the end result and admire the beauty? Finally, to me the Pam 111 DSN ultimate only has one noticeable flaw - the crown is to thin. Is there anything else that is notable on this watch as a difference to the gen and if I were to put a gen strap on would that achieve 99% accuracy to the real thing? Has anyone got some photos of the ultimate DSN next to the real thing? Sorry for all of the questions, but, I am intrigued with the finishing touches. I also have a UPO and am considering the gen bracelet. Thanks in advance and can't wait for some eye candy photos of your pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassreplica Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 If no-one has a Panerai 111 rep on a gen strap, has anyone got a Pam (any model) on a gen strap? Just would be interested to see if it is worth the investment. Also, where is the best place to source a gen strap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eton Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 All of my PAM's are on Gen straps and although not cheap, personally I wouldn't have it any other way, but that's just me! Here's a shot of my 063 on a Gen Croc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassreplica Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Sweet - particularly the black croc. I am keen to find a black deployment strap. Where is best to source one and how much should I expect to pay for a genuine strap and genuine deployment clasp? Thanks in advance. Can't wait to see more gen strap pictures.

Drulee Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 IHNSHO, the only gen Panerai straps worth buying are the Gator ones, and even they are over priced. For the money of a gen strap you can buy a couple of much nicer custom ones. Plus I think a nice custom strap makes the rep look even less like a rep.
