modelizer Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I usually wear it with rubber, JV or cashmere (currently on). I only have the JV pic though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelizer Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Share 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?

txcollector Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteM Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share 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.
