After having done lots of research on the forums my first Pam was the 183H from P.T.I have already posted about the watch,so my next question was about the strap.Firstly I am unsure as to which is the correct size to buy and secondly I need a strap that will be a snug fit on my slender wrists.I am very impressed by the quality of the watch itself so I am prepared to pay that bit extra for a suitable quality strap.I prefer the caramel colour as on the original but may be swayed to buy a black strap depending on the responses.I don't want to go for a patterned strap or one with contrasting stitching,any suggestions welcome.

Great watch and good choice.

A 26mm strap will fit the 183.

You can pick of the straps on this page at they should look very nice.

Personally I like the dark brown or the tan straps on the Blackseal. It ends up being a really nice contrast. Be sure to get one you like though. Changing straps repeatedly on a radiomir rep can be a bit tricky since the screws get lost and strip out so easily. You may want to put a dab of super glue on the screw when you put them back in so that they don't fall out.

Am I right in saying 26,26 means the width of the strap is the same from lug end to buckle end and that a 26,22 is one which is tapered from one end to another.Also any idaes about the Europelli shell cordovans as the 26,22 black with dark titanium stitching is on sale price at$130.00.

I do believe you are correct about the sizing. 26/22 tapers.

Yes a 26/26 will be the same width all the way down the strap. It also means that it takes a 26mm buckle.

A 26/24 or 26/22 strap will taper from the lugs to the buckle. This also means that these straps take a 24mm or 22mm buckle.

http://www.banda.com will tailor-make a strap to the exact size that you require. So having a slender wrist is not a problem. Their prices are very reaonable, too.
