scoobs1971 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi all, Need some ideas for PAMs om black straps. I like my PAM111 and 164 best on brownish/tan straps and want some black for variety in my collection. I agree, it's a lame excuse to buy myself a new PAM, hahaha. So let's see the most stylish black PAMs here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobs1971 Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 These Fiddies look awesome guys!!! Unfortunately they're a bit too big for my wrist. The 44mm PAMs are max. Must have, must have, must have, must have...... NO, yes, NO, yes..... Pfff , hahaha. edit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 i think my favorite black strap is the prada strap by jose tan deltatahoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Good stuff, delta... I honestly think every black dial PAM looks good on a black strap. The question really is... what kind of black strap? Croc, alligator, calf, carbon fiber, etc. Currently I'm wearing my 063 on a tumbled black calf with white stitch custom made by Tootall. I love the combo. Sorry, no pics at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 So let's see the most stylish black PAMs here! Hi Scoobs. Just now I am typing this post on my laptop, as my desktop is having probs. So, not being sensible, no backups of my Wristcheck photos. I'll be back when I look some up, with ideas.

bazonkers Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 How about this? DSN PAM 218A on a Europelli black baseball with black stitching: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGambleur Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 My DSN 195 PVD on a Toscana Vitello Antico from TC Straps. Highly recommended strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Personally, for everyday wear, I prefer my PAMs on brown/tan straps. That said, they (as a brand) do look awesome on black straps. I think black straps certainly look more formal than brown/tan straps. Last saturday, when I wore my 127 on a borrowed black strap, despite it's size, it looked really smart (I wish I'd had time to take wrist shots) and went great with my outfit. When I see the PAMs on black straps, I think of the catalogue shots on the official website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 What a day for eyecandy on RWG! Great shots guys. I'd like to single out Ewing's unusual stitchless strap. Black is my least favourite strap colour. But here are a few of mine! OEM Rubber Diver: Camille Fournet Beaver Tail: OEM Black calf: Timeconnection.biz custom-made glossy bony croc (from member, Rolli): Toscana Sienna Carbon Fibre: I know you only do 44mm PAMs, Scoobs, but here's a very nice shot of a rare ostrich leg from APB, on the Fidster: This weekend, I am presenting a new black strap in the Wristchecks.

scoobs1971 Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Thnx guys! Great to see all them black beauties @bazonkers: may the force be with you... @Vic: that carbon fibre looks great. Would love to see some more pics! @deltahoe: that's a gen right? Wow! Or did you manage to source some gen hands? @dluddy: I wonder how that kevlar strap would look on a 111 or 164..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slai Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Oh yeah, my PVD/Kevlar combo before I sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltatahoe Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 @deltahoe: that's a gen right? Wow! Or did you manage to source some gen hands? thanks for the compliment scoobs it's actually a modded rep. originally from EL, with ziggy superlumed dial, chieftang cyclops and finepics datewheel...i got it as part of EL's 10 days of deals last Christmas; maybe EL included genuine hands as a special Christmas present deltatahoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobs1971 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 That's a classic! I have been thinking about this model, but the notorious stripped crown scares me away. Have you had any problems? And what strap is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 That's a classic! I have been thinking about this model, but the notious stripped crown scares me away. Have you had any problems? I have the 183, but was only able to wear it once due to the stripped lug (TWP very kindly is modding one for me). It also has the stripped crown, but he's taking care of that too. I would suggest not getting a 183, with regret, due to this common problem. And what strap is that? It's beautiful. Looks like an elephant though, and I'm sure it couldn't be. @Scoobs below: Coincidentally, after posting this what do I find but a Demonslayer thread where HighflyingClive tut-tuts any idea of not owning a 183. However, I knew what he had said previously about being gentle with the crown, etc. and it still happened. Damn shame. If I ever get a gen Radiomir, it would be the 183 in a heart-beat.

I still think this is one of the best 'dressy' PAM combos. I'm now wearing a black croq on the 164, but I don't know... it looks way better with the TWB honey tan.....

deltatahoe Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 if you like the 183 and are looking for a dressy pam, my suggestion would as follows: i) get a 183 w/ the new asian swan neck movement, ii) at the same time order a replacement crown & tube from davidsen iii) send everything to ziggy for relume, crown/tube replacement and cannon pin fix iv) pair with black alligator watch boys strap now you've got yourself a 99% 183 rep (with the most obvious remaining flaw being the shape of the lugs) here's my 183 (now that i look at this picture again, i believe it is pre-mods outlined above).... deltatahoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
