dannesyd Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 Okay, so I stumbled upon two amazing 24mm straps at a reasonable price in a weak moment (at 5 am) so i went for it. The only "issue" is that i don't really have any watches to put them on yet. I have an Arktos thats out on repair but that one already have a donerix strap waiting for it once it gets home again. I'm considering a PAM 390 Noob but i am completly lost what to more to get. I really like the manual movements so i guess I'm "stuck" with Base and Marina 44mm. Any suggestions for a second watch that would fit with the type of strap i orderd is widely appriciated!
AKTime Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 I have the PAM89 GMT and absolutely love it. It's actually the only PAM I ever held on to. The anthracite dial is absolutely stunning.
dannesyd Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Posted January 6, 2014 That one looks really nice, but i think i am looking for a manual wind movement. I really like having to wind my 292j I like interacting with my watches
modelizer Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 I would go with 005 and/ or 111. Classic manual winds that will work with any 24mm strap you might fancy. Plus they are replicated very well nowadays..
dannesyd Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Posted January 6, 2014 Thanks for the tip. I must say the 005 looks very interesting after searching some pictures of how it looks with different straps
modelizer Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 The 005 is a real looker. My favourite is the JV strap combo.. http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/140539-strap-recommendation-for-pam005/#entry1044838
martijnp Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 Good looking straps! I've got two PAM's. The 111 and 104. Both very lovely but I'm thinking about selling one and go for a 360, 441 or 386 but I can't choose either!
dannesyd Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Posted January 6, 2014 All decisions regarding watches is usually damn hard IMO! What version of the 111 do you have?
martijnp Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 All decisions regarding watches is usually damn hard IMO! What version of the 111 do you have? It's a Noob V3 case and H dial, A6497 movement with correct Y-incablok on a Donerix cracked brown leather strap. This is what they told me about the watch
dannesyd Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Posted January 6, 2014 Sell it to me, but save the strap for your new PAM, hahaha
dannesyd Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Posted January 6, 2014 Okay, pulled the trigger! PAM 390 Noob, and 005 v2.5 Noob ordered from Toro Think they will look good with the new straps coming in
dannesyd Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Posted January 10, 2014 Okay, so the straps arrived today. All i can say is WOW, they look and feel aboslutly amazing. The images off ebay thats in the first post do not do these straps justice at all. Now I'm only waiting for the watches. Should arrive in a week or two as well Here are some pics i took on my own: I think the rougher one with black stitching will go on the 005 and the smoother one will go on the 390
Mike on a bike Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 Marti's 111 is the bomb I raffled it outstanding piece. Nice straps Dan hope they are man sized!
