Guest dinosaur1 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Love the watch!!! Toro is great to deal with. I ended up going with the black leather without the white stitching. The only concern I have is why the leather strap started to crease after wearing the watch a couple of times only.

gasebah Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Frankly, you should exchange the leather strap to something of better quality anyway. The PAM is a super rep, but the cheap rep strap will give it away. The first thing I did with all my PAM was exchanging the strap before I even put the watch on my wrist for the first time.For some I even bought a gen strap which costs about as much as the watch itself. But it makes a world of difference. Edited September 30, 2015 by gasebah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is yours a croc strap? I dislike that white stitching, but I'm sure I could find something else. Black goes with everything.

gasebah Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Well, maybe it is just an opinion, but photos usually don't do straps justice. I have to admit that I don't own a 111 and I have not seen the rep strap in person. But all the rep straps I have seen so far look ok on the TD's website, but are an easy tell in real life. They scream rep from a mile away. There might be exceptions, but that is my experience.And yes, mine is a gator strap. I am not saying that this is what you should get. It was just an example how a strap makes a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username here Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Yes, the strap on your watch looks cheap. Check out paneristi and viapaneristi and grab 2 or 3 straps. They are only $100 to $200 for great straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
