kidxer Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 I'm looking for a chunky historic strap to put on a 44mm PAM. Does anyone here have experience with either of "Greg Stevens Crcazy Horse" or "Don's" straps? Or preferably both?? Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babola Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 (edited) I preffer Greg's Primo Tan over his Crazy Horse. The latter is softer, but quite "busy" compared to stiff and 'flat' finish of the former. They both age very nicely, and with one application of mink oil on Primo Tan you'll get a strap that's "out of this world". Greg's straps are thicker than Don's in average...so choose carefully, and suitable to occasion. Don's new California Tan is my fav...although in general they're a class under Greg's, IMO. cheers, babola Edited February 12, 2007 by babola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dario33 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Can't go wrong with Greg Stevens' straps (I have never bought from Don). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfman Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Don't you think about a MP ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 For the style of strap you are looking for the MP or Greg Stevens are about the best you will find. Thick, luxurious and a beautiful patina. The MP you can have overnight if you want, the Greg strap will take 6 weeks minimum, but either way you will be happy. Do what I did and get a few of both.

Estaban Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Get two Dons for the price of one GS. I've owned a couple GS straps. They are nice, but they are too thick. They scuff up on the edges terribly from just putting them on your wrist. Don historic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Greg straps over Don straps in a landslide. But then you can get 3 Dons for the price of a single Greg. Just don't get a Greg AND a Don because the Don will never see any wrist time. Also check out www.vintagerstraps.com for Greg-like straps. Micah makes 'em out of gorgeous hides that are thick yet pliable and comfy (like the Greg Crazy Horse). They're basically Greg straps with different choices of leather and a slightly lower price tag. I have a Carrier and will be getting a Copperplate in the near future.... The strap fetish is worse than the PAM fetish I tell you!!!

baltic Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I've got a Greg Crazy Horse and Historic Brown and owned a few DON straps too. Greg's are much thicker and more expensive, DON's are great value for money. Try DON's limited editions - the tobacco lambskin one in particular is a lovely strap. Can't go wrong with either really, depends on your preference, budget and patience (Greg's are hand made to order). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 pickup the strap that V has left - nice and thick, very good price. or you could have HK tan make you one custom - to whatever your thickness desires - and i think its the same ish as the greg stevens if not cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Shane Delaurian makes some of the best custom straps for any watch. www.delaurian.com they take about 4-5 weeks and are not cheap-but they are worth the time and wait.

Snow Dog Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 CPT390 and Flavor Flav, are those 187s the Watchhonpo version or the newer ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovepanerai Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I think flav's is one of the newer ones - you can tell by the more accurate markers on the bezel...they might fall off since they are not screwed in but they are more accurate the the noes the Watchhonpo version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpt390 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I got mine from Star and it came from TTK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Dog Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 RE: the 187... thanks for helping out a newbie! That is my favorite PAM... I just am unsure about the markers coming off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
