lalala88 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Got my N-Factory 111N recently, loving it! Want to buy a croc strap, and I prefer the new deployment buckle, more convenient. Found this one: http://tpdventures.ecrater.com/p/9982267/24mm-genuine-crocodile-brown-leather# Is this in good quality and close to gen? Is it a good choice for 111? Good place to order from? (I also asked them whether they can switch to a polished buckle, will see) Would appreciate your inputs. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing they don't say they are OEM. Or maybe they believe you'll assume so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalala88 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Thanks for the kind replies, glad to see two recommendations for TWB, they do look great. This is looks good, but it is vintage, and I still prefer a 24/22, with deployment buckle. http://www.thewatchboys.com/vintage-honey-alligator-with-matching-stitch-p-360.html This honey color is the best for me, but it is for Tang buckle, would it work for a deployment buckle? http://www.thewatchboys.com/honey-alligator-with-white-stitch-for-tang-buckle-p-275.html Otherwise, I can go for this chocolate color. http://www.thewatchboys.com/chocolate-brown-alligator-with-white-stitch-for-deployant-buckle-p-231.html Finally, do you know where to find an OEM Pam deployment buckle or a good rep? Many thanks again! Very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalala88 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Mike, I am interested in that buckle. Sent you a PM. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Panatime are also very good for alligator http://panatime.com/geloalxlsibr1.html. If you can afford the extra cost, you could also pick up a gen panerai strap for about $200 if you hang around in the accessory section of paneristi.

Watchmeister Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Go to Risti and pick up second hand croc for deployant. Crocs last forever and IMHO look better after some wear. TWB is another good choice. Pic below: 196 with TWB (deployant), 162 with OEM and deployant and 188 has Xmas brown on buckle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what I had in mind, would be great if I can get a used gen. Let me head over to Risti. Thanks for all the inputs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
