First PAM with my new straps

[vvind]

I got the PAM111v3 as my first pam and so happy with it!

I had to get myself a all black and brown strap. Bakeka all black strap and Snpr brown strap.

The bakeka strap is my favorite!!! The buckle is so nice and high quality. The strap is perfect thickness i think at 4mm. I am using the 2nd tighest hole. Its a little loose and if i use the 1st hole its too tight. So inbetween 1st and 2nd hole... dang! Right now wearing 2nd hole because its more comfortable. I will most likely order again from bakeka, love his work!

The snpr strap horween leather color and stitching is really nice combo. The strap itself has a lot of problems for me and does not fit at all, wearing 1st hole and it slides down my arm Hopefully i can get it sorted out and send it back.

How big is your wrist? And what are the dimensions of the straps?

 

[vvind]

Wrist size is 7.15inch. I need check my emails for the exact length of the straps. The bakeka strap is perfect length.

Now im looking to get another strap from bakeka.. what do you guys think of the #70 natural patina strap on a pam111?

or the #71 classical hazelnut ?

From the pics the snpr looks a lot longer than the other.

Those light tan straps from Bakeka look amazing on any Panerai.

Mine on a 177:

baggy, which tan strap you have?

I like the #70 natural patina... haha

bakeka does amazing work! Love his screw in buckle it feels so solid!

 

[vvind]

Which do you think would look nicer on the pam111?

#70 natural patina ( i guess this one is cooler because it will get darker over time and have more character?)

or #71 classical hazelnut with offwhite stitching? (this one is already dark so the color wouldnt change so much?)

I think it was #66 "VITELLO NATURALE RAW EDGES" 3 LAYERS

The natural straps age beautifully, getting darker around the edges

baggy, ohh nice #66 looks a little orangey brown in photos, but i think i still like the #70 more,, looks most natural

Ahhh looks like ill have to get another strap soon..

The holes look to be a 1/4 or 3/8 apart which is normal. Were you specific on where you wanted the holes and how long to make it? I fail to see how this is SNPRs fault or why he has to eat the strap.

gmg_3, I was not specific on the holes. He said to get 5 or 6 holes and i chose 5. For length i just said its for a PAM111 and my wrist size. Did the same for bakeka. The SNPR came out way longer. When bakeka told me the length i should get, i was suprised why its so much shorter than snprs? I actually asked bakeka to add 5mm longer on the longside of the strap. If i had listen to bakekas original reccomendation on length, it would have been even more perfect!
