V Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Everytime I look my strap collection I always find myself prefering by far the Dark brown/burgundy coloured straps... I think they would do a perfect combination with the brown dials Pams.. too bad they are all in titanium cases (..I don't like titanium) So what colour straps do you prefer for your Pams?

Usil Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Definitely dark. Dark brown or Black sometimes. Dark calf, dark gator, dark buffalo - do not like any light colored straps. Bought one once and used dark shoe polish on it which actually turned out better than expected. I have also dyed straps with leather dye to get closer to what I want. I really rely on member pictures of their straps to get the best idea of what they look like. Can't generally trust the pictures from the suppliers and have been disappointed.

deltatahoe Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 i definitely agree -- i wear my dark brown straps the most (hands down). although a nice black strap can be a nice change from time to time. but my absolute favorite color is the PAV 91 on your 112h in that picture (am i right about this one V?) deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello V and thank you for your post. I am one of the new guys here but I am desperately seeking my first PAM. I have the fever real bad and have even started looking for top quality straps before having a watch. I too like dark brown and burgundy but some black straps have looked great in some pics I have seen. Especially Flav's 127 he sold with the black Kevlar strap. Do you have a website for the straps you craft? Best, Vlydog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hambone Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 I have the PAV 91 on my fiddy now and it is my most favorite strap hands down. It looks great on your base V. I also have the PAV 99 on my 232 and it rocks as well, but the 91 is tops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubus Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 well my favs are the brown or tan ones. I dont really like black straps, but they do siut everything of my clothing And I like contrast threads on stitchings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAM192MEX Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Right now my fav is a MF black calf with Ti stitching and Ti buckle that matches perfectly with my 177h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 No guts, no glory. I always prefer bulletproof. But seriously, I got a go with the old school Pre-A. The black leather is torn apart but glove soft and the buckle, well you know what I am talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highflyingclive Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Generally, I, too, prefer a dark strap. But I will make exception for an exceptional strap. Like this OEM: This next strap took me by surprise. It is light tan. I don't like tan straps. But I love this one. The leather was reclaimed from seats in a derelict railway carriage... So you know it was made by HK Tan. I think it is the perfect companion for the vintage California: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymbound Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I know that some of the purist out there will bash me for this but I am putting a black stingray/black stitching on my PAM187. Thought it would be sort of cool to see sea animal strap on a diver. By the way Kruzer00 LOVE the strap, where did you pick that one up?

eunomians Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Whilst I like the myriad of amazing straps that exist for Panerai, personally, I only like to wear black straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
