Hello all
I've recently received two new straps for my Noob Factory PAM127. The first is a "Series 74" made by Jose Maria of C & B Straps. From ordering to receiving the strap took three weeks. He is a pleasure to order from and all his straps can be fully customised. I've seen post saying his site is all in spanish & it's put people off ordering from him, but there is a Google translate button on the site to make things easier. I've worn this strap on and off for a week now & it's softening up nicely.

The second strap was given to me by Hazz37,top bloke, thanks mate. I really like this strap and it wears smarter than the 74, just right for the office.
I hope you like the pics.

nice 74!
I'm pretty sure the other strap came from River on his vintage pams.

nice look, but on the CB strap there is a gap between strap & lug on first/ second pic
Should be a little bit wider... sorry for that "critique"
I thought about to order one fom CB but not sure and this space between lugs makes me not really resolute!
however, have fun with it, the leather is nice looking!

I hadn't really noticed that but you're right, there is a very tiny gap. However it is more noticeable on the photos as they are so zoomed in. It's not really noticeable on the wrist, you really don't notice it. I wouldn't let it stop me from ordering another one.

Hi allez
I've been wearing it now for ten days and it's softened up really well. I do give new straps a good twist and bend in my fingers before fitting them to watches, just to give them a head start. I think it has broken in really well, I particularly like the way the unfinished edges are going fluffy. It's a very comfortable strap to wear. Well worth the money.
