modelizer Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Hey PAM experts, I have a 005 on rubber strap incoming and need some inspiration on nice leather strap options for it.. Any suggestions? This PAM noob could really use a helping hand.. Thanks in advance! /modelizer.
PeteM Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Give us a clue mate.... whats your taste? There are a few threads on RG showing some strap options for the LM Logo.. I personally like a light or dark cognac with ecru/beige stitching or more formal then an Alligator Honey brown or JV.. Yum Yum !! EDIT: Oo I know something thats different..... a Grey Vero Squalo with grey stitching and MX style buckle..... Orloff has some lovely MX style buckles with his initials shaped like a logo and he is pretty cheap too and in EU You can pick your leather and have him sew the buckle in for you
txcollector Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 I usually wear it with rubber, JV or cashmere (currently on). I only have the JV pic though.
gianton Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Here a few: Septimus French ammo Orloff vintage tan Dirk dark cognac
modelizer Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Posted December 8, 2011 Thanks for the guidance gents! Much appreciated! http://www.rwg.cc/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/good.gif @Pete: Since I'm kinda breaking new grounds here I figured not to paint myself into a corner with my normal taste limitations. So I decided to enter this strap search open minded like only a true virgin can.. http://www.rwg.cc/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/wink.gif Light or dark cognac sounds like the perfect match to the 005! Although normally not that fond of the busy texture of shark skin straps, I will do some research on that gray Vero Squalo! Pardon my noobness, but what's a MX style buckle? Is it the flat ones? http://www.rwg.cc/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/pardon.gif @txcollector: That JV looks real tasty! Must get me one of those.. OEM?
gianton Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 For something less pricey try these: http://cbstraps.blogspot.com/ check pics here: http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20665&hl=&fromsearch=1
modelizer Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Posted December 8, 2011 Thanks for the link gianton! Looks great for the price range!
txcollector Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 @txcollector: That JV looks real tasty! Must get me one of those.. OEM? yes, the cashmere (the same type that comes with the Fiddy) I have on right now is OEM too.
modelizer Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Posted December 8, 2011 yes, the cashmere (the same type that comes with the Fiddy) I have on right now is OEM too. Not surprised.. Beautiful!
PeteM Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 I usually wear it with rubber, JV or cashmere (currently on). I take it you only wear the rubber when practising a safe wrist action... ? I think your first choices will look good mate and you can never beat the JV IMHO and it has to be OEM again IMHO MX buckle is a style similar to the PreV buckle with a Logo and Panerai engraving.... it is only available from OP as a special order as they are not screw in... The MX is just a code prefix used by OP to identify thier buckles and Straps..... if you look at OEM straps they start with MX..... in the same way PAVs are designated... they were prefix codes for old PreV straps re-released in 2004.
Cats Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Hi Modelizer here are some suggestions Kain Heritage Strap Culture Herioc 18 Bob strap Unknow maker , might be my favorite Carpe Diem Cats
txcollector Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 I take it you only wear the rubber when practising a safe wrist action... ? rubber is for when I'm planning to get all sweaty and out of breath, like hiking in the summer
PeteM Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 rubber is for when I'm planning to get all sweaty and out of breath, I do that going up the stairs.....

modelizer Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Posted December 9, 2011 My votes for Kain Heritage. Looks awesome as well! Thanks mate! Tan/ cognac is definitely the way to go on the 005.. So a couple of inquiries has been sent!
deniz21 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 hey nasilsin ? i also bought a pam (112) and on top this strap , its a gunny like the clean and vintage look maybe its something for you too
maxman Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 The choices when it comes to pam straps can be trully overwhelming...but also a lot of fun. I will be picking up a new strap soon..member snpr9696 makes some amazing straps...his work looks like it has a high degree of craftsmanship. His prices are very reasonable when you consider the high quailty of the work being done. I will most likely purchase my next strap from him. Might be worth a look bro..good luck. http://www.rwg.cc/to...ge_fromsearch_1
