blbl Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Man the feel of this watch is crazy !!! I keep reading about boiling the strap to get rid of the vanilla smell... any one have any tips or links on how to do this ?? Thanks guys Great looking piece! Which dealer did you get it from? I've recently got my pam111 with the same rubber strap. "vanilla" is indeed a good word to describe the scent. I didn't boil it as I found that to be too extreme. What I did do was to put the strap under running hot water for awhile before wrapping it in newspaper overnight. The next morning the scent wasn't as strong as the first day I received the watch and I began to start wearing it. Have been wearing it for almost a week now and the smell has subsided. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82KUBA Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Thanks guys !! And thanks for the tips... I also agree boil rubber is a bit harsh so I think I'll try the baking soda first if it doesn't work I'll boil that sucker with a lil butter and garlic lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 The vanilla smell went away after a few months on mine. But the best way to get rid of that smell is to take It off and put on a nice think leather strap. ..really Congratulations...beautiful 005.
