vlydog Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Considering a Ted Su Swiss Ammo strap for my 000 project. Does anyone have photos of Ted Su straps on PAM's?

pubus Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 mother ..... these are best straps Ive seen for a long time.... lucky you get one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir-Lancelot Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Those look great. what is the price range if you dont mind me asking? Did he mention how thick these are? That middle one in the second picture would look really nice on my 118. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 They are made from vintage Swiss ammo pouches. They run about 5m thick and cost 200usd. So, which one would look the best on a Zero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaykeem Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Vlydog- you will not regret purchasing a Ted Su strap! I got my croc strap from him about a week ago and its on my 000 at the moment. I've put in an order for 2 more straps as well, these are the softest and most supple straps I've ever had touch my wrists. Sorry these are the only photos I have it of online at the moment.

Watchmeister Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 The straps are beautiful. Personally I would stay away from the ones with mongrams or logos on the side facing up. But on croc's and alligators for PAM's I always prefer used A/B series (for tang buckle of course). If I remember I will post a couple of pics of mine. But suffice it to say they are stunning.

slai Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Here's another of the TS ammo (no embossing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaykeem Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Kruzer - I agree with you as well about the early A/B series crocs, those are amazing straps as well. Those A/B straps look great on PVD watches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaykeem Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Sorry for the second post didnt mean to hit add reply. Slai- What ammo would you say that strap on your fiddy is in relation to the photos posted by the OP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slai Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 No idea to be honest...I picked it up slightly used and was told it was honey brown. It's been through a lot though and the colour's changed since I got it. I was going running with it to give it a nice patina...nothing ages leather like sweat!

vlydog Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Thanks gentlemen for your endorsement of TS. I am sold on one of these straps for sure. I like all this straps has to offer. I still have several decisions to make. Color... started with the idea of cognac but now considering black Size... Ted is recommending a size that is 20mm larger than my longest strap; how are they wearing guys? With or without buckle... how do you think this strap would look with an OEM buckle? I first thought no embossing but now that is growing on me...kind of makes it unique to Ted Su. I would appreciate any further suggestions you might have.

sssurfer Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Awesome! I just felt in love with them! I even especially love those embossed on the upside! Just, at 200 bucks, I think I'll stay away from them... Vly, #5 on the 1st pic and #1 on the 2nd pic are something you should kill for.

vlydog Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 brushed or polished buckle for a Pam 000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 brushed or polished buckle for a Pam 000? Uhm... rules would dictate polished, but honestly I would go for brushed. My final opinion: polished if no emboss on the upside, otherwise brushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Uhm... rules would dictate polished, but honestly I would go for brushed. My final opinion: polished if no emboss on the upside, otherwise brushed. I think I am going with a simple embossed Swiss cross on the lug end of the long side of the strap.

vlydog Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Sending my order any last opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaykeem Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Your order sounds good... I have 6.5" wrists and I'm wearing his croc strap at 75/138. The tail on the long end of the strap comes up about 10mm short from reaching the lugs of my watch. It think it looks awesome at his recommended length. The two ammos I just placed an order for are going to be 80/140 and he said because of the thickness of the ammo straps it will wear very similar to my current 75/138 length strap from him.

Mine are 7" and he kept telling me to order 140/80. I don't like a lot of tail on a strap so we compromised at 135/80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaykeem Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Vly - Regardless I'm sure your strap is going to look amazing and extremely comfortable on your wrist. Cant wait to see your wrist shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
