Help me choose a strap for PAM127 (Fiddy)

[jaykeem]

Hey guys I just wanted to see what your strap recommendations are for the fiddy. I'm getting closer to having my fiddy being completed and I realized I still dont have the 'perfect' strap for it yet.

I have two straps that are 26mm but am not sure I like them 100% at the moment. One is a black SC strap with X stitching near the lugs. The other one is one I got from a friend of mine that said horologio someone hand made it, this one is light brown in color.

Any thoughts or advice ?

go big... its your master super project fiddy...

go delarean custom built by that crazed dude.

Have tried on many including some high end stuff and have settled on these two....

V natural tan Greek hike....

Andy's dark brown buffalo...

I love my Mickey Mantle strap:

And it seems others like the baseball leathers as well:

There are also the Ammo pouch and other vintage leathers. Personally, I don't think a fiddy looks quite right unless it is on a vintage strap. Croc/Gator may look nice every once in a while, but it's a throw back to the vintage Panerai, so why not get a vintage strap?

Get a nice tootall strap! They are fantastic.. I own one.

He does a great job! I can attest to the quality.

Nice straps I'm very interested in picking up a tootall strap as well now.

Roflwaffle- I'm hoping you still have that caseback for me! I'm waiting for Sylars watchmaker to get the last couple parts to finish assembling my fiddy. After that I'm pretty much good to go.

So far I have 2 straps...a 3rd one probably on its way once I pay HU for one of his

I'm thinking that this one is the one to get for my fiddy from tootall.

On a side note Tutima and Tootall you guys have awesome dials in your 127 are these early DSN/older EL dials? I've been searching high and low for one to put into my project.

heres my newly finished strap from Peter Gunny. Look how thick! 3 layers baby!! 6mm and nice and soft!

GeF La Spezia in cognac or an MP PAV in burgundy (can't remember the PAV# off the top of my head).

That tootall strap you've chosen is incredible. That being said, I love my custom Savage to pieces. Couldn't be happier. Sorry for the crappy pics...

 

[jaykeem]

Hooli - I'll check those straps you mentioned out in a min.

Gm - I really need to get another savage strap as well....I feel like I'm getting duplicates of my 24/24 straps but this time in 26/26!

 

[jaykeem]

Hey hooli I was looking through the MP website and TC but could not find the colored 26/26 straps you were referring to. Any chance you can take a look to see if they still offer the straps in question?

 

[hooligan]

Looks like you'll have to custom order a 26mm La Spezia if you want one:

The same for the PAV:

You can't go wrong with a Savage or Tootall, either.

 

[sexybeast]

i say stitch-less savage in black

 

[turbogt]

You can't go wrong on a Tootall:

Vintage stitching with unfinished sides:

Cheers!

Go to Europelli and get the Shell Cordovan stra with khaki stitching

n my opinion, the nicest watcgh.

 

[koster88]

I love my Mickey Mantle strap:

Did you make this Strap. I love it too!! I want one!

 

[jaykeem]

Oh man..I cannot stop looking at that gunny caitlin strap. I really want a caitlin I version of the strap, but it looks like he is all out of the leather to make me one.

I think this is going to be the best strap for the fiddy if I can get one! Dizzy I'm utterly jealous right now

 

[etto09]

I would take this brown one

or a light tan with white stitchings
