sagat1977 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I'm heading off to Thailand in a week and was wondering if anyone would recommend any spots to pick up some good straps for my PAM 177. It'd be quite nice to handle a strap before purchase and I thought maybe the infamous MBK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I wonder if you are going to find anything other than the standard rep strap without first contacting a strapmaker. Typically I think about it the other way which is to try and find a good rep there and look for straps elsewhere. Hktan is great but I don't think he has a storefront.

sagat1977 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Watchmeister - thats not a bad way to look at it. There's the famous MBK guy on the ground floor there. I bought an AP off him last time I was there but I dont think he sold straps. I'll have to have a re-look. Tessa - Is the famous HKTan in Thailand? I'll have to contact him before I go and see if it's possible to meet up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 @ sagat: indeed you will probebly only find rep straps. There are several good strapmakers from Thailand, also on the rep boards like repgeek, RWG (here), wrist-check, etc etc. But most of them don't have a store front since their customers are worldwide. And most straps are customs made on order... If I was to be in Thailand, I was going to enjoy the country and not looking for rep straps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty phenomenal craftsmanship, great leather & originality too! Oh, and his prices are cheap!!! I'll get you his email if I can find it.
