which PAM and which STRAP (yes, vbarrett the strap masta could help)

[john smith]

Hey guys,

my first awesome PAM and still awesome is a dsn 111h with strapculture legend brown/brown stiching...

which goes GREAT which jeans and casual outfit... Im still going to university so it's all great.

Anway, Im going more and more the good suit / burberry way...

Suit is sometimes beige (light brown) or dark blue... Not so much black.

So what do you got for me?

I thought of the obvious 177h or even 195 (don't know if it's good repped tho)

and Straps I don't know

John, I'm just on my way out, so I'll send you a more personalised PM later. Until then, munch on Erwinner's 177h SOS thread:

"177H arriving soon; which strap/buckle best matches?, your help is highly appreciated!"

For informal occasions, it's hard to beat Maxmilian's Tan Capretto strap:

I think this is what you referred to, Slai's StrapCulture strap:

P4GTR's SC strap is awesome too:

The Toscana Fiero strap is your all-purpose Burberry suit/jeans strap and ultimately what Erwinner chose:

I use this almost as a mantra, but you can't beat these straps for quality. Daily Specials:

@John followup: Just let me know if this is enough info, or if you need a PM with more stuff. Decided to see if you had enough to go on.

I've been going gator for business casual lately.

if you are looking for a pam to wear with a suit (which is already relatively tough to pull off given their size), i'd suggest a radiomir model -- they have a thinner profile and therefore sit nicely on the wrist & under a shirt cuff.

pair the radiomir with a gator strap from the watch boys and you've got yourself a winning combo

here's my 183 on black gator from the watch boys:

thanks a lot vic (you changed your nick?) but are not thoses straps a little too big? I mean, a PAM with a 5mm strap is the best but in a suit a small one like the gator of slai and deltatahoe seems to be good

anyway, yeah the Toscana Fiero strap is great with that white stitching... damn do I go for a 5mm strap or less

btw it seems I have the strap you call P4GTR from strapculture for informal purpose (it's great)

nice one the gator guys

Yes, one of the big reasons being I wanted to encourage people to call me by name and leave the initial V to V.

Hmm, yes, if you're looking for a thinner strap, stick to the Toscanas, which are 4mm, but wear thinner. Manifatture Firenze straps are nice and thin, without being wafer thin (3mm). You needn't pay full price, as they have them on resale on Risti, but this is their site:

Good wrap-up strap thread (I forgot!):

Brilliant!

If you go to Repgeeks, you'll see a Wristcheck with a TWB gator, as well. Very nice. Might get one.

Hey Andrew -- was going to PM you, but my Inbox is at 100%.

It's in the Timeconnection.biz site I linked to above in the Daily Specials. For your convenience, here is the exact section.

UNFORTUNATELY, they seem to have run out of the strap, no doubt temporarily, as it was on $19.99 special all of last week. It's a $109 strap normally! Keep checking the site, especially in the Daily Specials area, for it. Might take about two weeks to restock though.

I have almost all the Toscanas, and it is by far my favourite except for the Fiero/Arruginito. Some photos to whet your whistle:

(With my enormous strap rotation, there is no chance to get the patina Maxmilian's has. But it will)

[slai]

I ordered a watchboys black/black gator for my fiddy yesterday...should be arriving sometime today. Will post a wristie as soon as it arrives.

[slai]

Ohhhhh YEAH! Can't wait to wear this with a crisp french-cuffed shirt.
