maverick86 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 Hey all, I dunno if this is the right place to be putting this, but as its pam related I thought as much.. I'm getting an 026k soon, but looking into getting a new strap for it. I know what the ass strap looks like on it, and that's high up on my list, but I was wondering what other straps suit the V1, like a brown croc strap? Just wanted to see if y'all could give me some inspiration as to what i want to get for it... So, show it off!
rogerthat Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 Have no pics for you, but personally don't think the dark brown asso strap is a great choice for this watch. I would look at some lighter color straps. An OEM JV for example would be the [censored] if you like croc. http://www.philippinewatchclub.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=6992 If too pricey Orloff and Peterwatch have there versions of sueded JV style croc straps. Greg Stevens Crazy Horse with black stitching. http://www.gregstevens-design.com/pvd-suggestions.html DiStefano's website shows a bunch of examples, check it out for some inspiration: http://www.distefanostraps.com/galleria.asp Any lighter brown/tan/gold strap with either black edges or black stitches tends to really look good with the dark case.
maverick86 Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Posted May 19, 2012 The JV strap is definitely a nice combination of 'suede-like' look and the ruggedness of a croc strap.. Thanks for that, I didn't know about it. Even tho it's prob too much for me, how much would the Gen strap be?
rogerthat Posted May 19, 2012 Report Posted May 19, 2012 Oem jv is expensive $300 or so Peterwatch and orloff alternatives are 100-150
maverick86 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Posted May 20, 2012 I emailed orloff and he doesn't have a JV style strap, and it doesn't seem as if he will be able to make one or me either - all he said was "here are the straps I have available to buy" and gave me a link. Who is peterwatch?
