Bought straps, need PAMs! (Straps arrived, waiting on watches)

Okay, so I stumbled upon two amazing 24mm straps at a reasonable price in a weak moment (at 5 am) so i went for it. The only "issue" is that i don't really have any watches to put them on yet. I have an Arktos thats out on repair but that one already have a donerix strap waiting for it once it gets home again.

I'm considering a PAM 390 Noob but i am completly lost what to more to get. I really like the manual movements so i guess I'm "stuck" with Base and Marina 44mm. Any suggestions for a second watch that would fit with the type of strap i orderd is widely appriciated! :)

Get a noob 111v3, its completely different than your 390 (has sandwich dial, its a marina with small seconds hand, has regular off-white numerals) and more importantly its a freaking good super rep!

You might as well consider a 243 (submersible), but that's an auto...

+1 or you might go with an 005 as well. Both of those straps look good and would complement quite a few PAM models.

Toro is my one and only so far. This is my 5th order with Toro, and to be honest, I haven't seen a reason to go anywhere else! :)

Yeah, both for the watches and the straps!

Okay, so the straps arrived today. All i can say is WOW, they look and feel aboslutly amazing. The images off ebay thats in the first post do not do these straps justice at all. Now I'm only waiting for the watches. Should arrive in a week or two as well :)


Here are some pics i took on my own:

I think the rougher one with black stitching will go on the 005 and the smoother one will go on the 390 :)
