Quick question about straps.

I'm interested in trying out a deployant strap. I'm not sure though if I have to buy a special kind of strap to work with the deployant clasp, or if any regular strap will work. Right now I have a rep asso and rep rubber strap, both with buckles.

Will I have to buy a new asso strap that's meant for a deployant clasp, or can I just buy the deployant clasp itself?

Does anyone have any recommendations for where to buy a rep asso strap with deployant clasp included?

This is for a PAM 312L, and PAM 111N v3.

Thanks!

These straps are thinner, to fit for deployant buckles.

Don't think they make rep 24mm versions of the asso for deployant
Personally don't care for the super thin at the end deployant straps especially not for a casual or vintage style strap like the asso

On a Pam deployant is meant for a formal look and to fit under cuffs so looks better paired with a formal strap IMO

I'm looking into deployants because I find my rep asso strap difficult to buckle and unbuckle. It's also a little uncomfortable at the bottom of my wrist. Maybe I just need a better quality rep buckle?

I'm used to bracelets...

for deploy strap it is better to get the dimension right for the short side of the strap else you may end up with a non centre deploy buckle (if the short side of the strap is too long or too short) and this can get uncomfortable ...


Personally i go for a tang buckle strap ... less hassle ..
