Are these great big thick straps that you see on these pannies really wearable on a day to day basis? Or do they just get in your way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Happy very early Monday morning (or Sunday night) for the Europeans. I'm wearing one of my favorites right now. This watch always reminds me of winter, so let's use a wrist shot from the last winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 TeeJay, I am no Pan owner (yet). Are these great big thick straps that you see on these pannies really wearable on a day to day basis? Or do they just get in your way? I think it depends on the person, and the clothes being worn. PAMs (especially the luminors) are thick watches, so personally, I feel a thick strap is needed to balance that. For example, a Radiomir strap (26/22) will fit the lugs on a 127 ( ) but, in terms of thickness, it doesn't really look 'substantial enough' to be supporting a watch of that size. Anything of 3-4mm thickness will look about right on a Luminor. Anything thinner, can look a bit 'flimsy'. A good example, is the strap on the Ferrari PAMs. The 'lug ends' of the strap are quite thick and padded, and, as that follows most of the wrist, it looks like a decent strap. However, the 'buckle ends' of the strap, are relatively thin (maybe 1.5-2mm) and, while great to go through a deployant, a strap of that thickness would probably look a bit flimsy (as with the mentioned example of the Radiomir strap) That's the 'technical' aspect. The other, is the aesthetic (in terms of clothing) The thicker straps do tend to have a more 'casual' air to them, rather than 'formal', so that's another consideration. I certainly wouldn't wear a 5mm strap if I was wearing a suit. Rolled up sleeves and jeans, sure, but not suit and tie... With the Radiomirs, it's pretty much the reverse. Although they were originally made as military watches, nowadays, they're popular as dress watches, and, compared to the Luminors, quite a bit thinner. Thick straps can 'over power' the watch case, and look a bit funny, so thinner straps (upto maybe 4mm) are the order of the day. I admit, I do have plans to put a 5mm starp on a Radiomir, but, this is going to be a 'rugged wear watch', so I want a strap to meet that planned use I hope that's of help to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
