While I'm on the topic of PAMs...

I've got this gorgeous, nearly new Dirk strap, which I've had in my collection for some time now (well over a year). I'm contemplating the idea of using this strap for my PAM project, however the old school Pre-V sewn in is PVD; my PAM project will be using a polished SS case. I hate to even consider the idea of removing the PVD on the buckle, however, I would also prefer to use this strap due to it's condition and I'd also like to have that old Pre-V logo buckle as well. Not to mention, this one's already in hand.

Would I be crazy to even consider? Or perhaps I should just tuck this one away and search for a different strap altogether?

And yes... I know... Half the fun with Panerai is having an assortment of straps to change with. Bare with me... It's going to take a bit before I start working on a strap collection...

Anyways... Some old pics...

Thoughts?

Thanks and cheers!

Nice! I need a real PVD buckle!

Dont do it... Save it for another project!

Keep it, a nice unworn original dirk like that is a treasure.

Then again, I tore one apart one last year in not so great of shape for the buckle....

I agree.. that's a collectable strap you got there. Don't do it.
