gen pam111 strap?

[jhk222]

Hello, Im a noob here

I recently got a pam111 noob v3 and im wondering is that a necessary to change the rep strap to a gen? (rubber or brown calf)

as well as can anyone tell me where i can find the gen starp online(and the price plz)?

I did some research but the information i got is all about the aftermarket strap

many many thanks!:::

I have a asso strap. Best thing I did for my v3

Hey JHK,

I am thinking the same thing for my PAM also, I guess you are after a cleaner OEM look too, as I am sure the strap shouldn't be over $500 I am guessing, I have had a little search here and on other forums, even google, nothing much found yet for OEM straps, but saw a few original straps on eBay (leather) go for around avg $300.

So at least you get an idea on cost.

Look at Toshi straps, Bakeka (good pricing) and wotancraft when you want top of the bill..and there are many many others..!!
Good luck!

many thanks all above
$300 seems too much

will consider a OEM

btw is the one comes from TD (like the brown calf) really that bad compared to gen?

It's a OEM gen, they will be above $300 just the way it is, yes check out some of the customs around, they are awesome!

I have the same rep with 111 brown strap. I wonder the quality and color compare to gen

jhk, only buy gen if only it offer you something that aftermarket do not. Eg Asso..
Most gen owners (including myself) do not use gen strap. Simply because the gen does not offer what we wan. Not just because of the cost. So just go ahead and choose the leather with the style and color you wan.

go custom

111 strap is very special for me. the brown gives the character

the rep strap is rubbish.
the gen OEM is overpriced
custom strap is the way to go, or strap a $50 rep asso strap on it.

Go for the aftermarket strap.
Even gen owner do not use the gen straps.

You can find used gen OEM straps in great shape on paneristi forum

how rubbish is this strap?

how close to gen?

 

[ddc]

The rep rubber is 99% close to gen in feeling and quality (I was on of the fools that actually bought a gen so I know). The rep leather is just chimney fuel...

 

[zmail21]

go custom

Where is that custom from SNPR?
