Which of the 4 black straps do you guys like best? and why? toshi, bakeka, snpr, gunny


thanks

Good choice on the brown horween, looks great!

About the black I prefer SNPR's one, gunny and bakeka have a sort of vintage look I don't see well with the 111, toshi's seems a bit too much "classic".
Anyway that's just my opinion, it mostly depends on the mood you want to give to your watch.
You researched extensively and found a bunch of great straps from great makers, you can't go wrong with any

kilowattore , yeah i am not sure which strap to go with...

The Pam111 is a very clean watch so maybe doesnt go best with super vintage but i think it still can.. hmmm. Bakeka leather looks oily sticky on the texture so probably not that. Snpr derby black should be good and also he has chromexcel black. Toshi strap is nice but almost looks too clean perfect.

I am thinking of trying Gunnys all black vintage strap. I can ask him to make the leather a little less cracked and without the '74' burned in strap. I guess it should still look good on the pam111.

Snpr is also sending me horween black derby and horween black chromexcel scrap sample with my order of the derby brown strap. That way i can see the leathers if i like them. So who knows i might get my 2nd strap from Snpr as well haha. Joe from snpr straps is very patient and answers all your questions and very good to deal with!

It would be cool to try a new strapmaker for my 2nd strap though, that way i can see other peoples awesome work




All black strap going on a PAM111. Anyone else wanna let me know which one you would pick? Snpr derby black, gunny vintage black, toshi black, bakeka black and why?



thanks

Just went through a thread on the PAM243M noob v3. Im pretty sure this will be my 2nd pam.

 

[kilowattore]

Hmmmm... PAMs and straps...
Slippery slope my friend, slippery slope

 

[vvind]

The pam243 ill probably get it next year .... haha
Right now i definitely need a black leather strap so i can switch between black and brown leather

Can anyone help me with QC on my first replica the PAM111v3noob
I would like someone with a bit more experience to let me know what they think. It looks OK to me but not sure if im missing anything. Please and thanks!


DELETED QC PICS
NOT ALLOWED
NEXT TIME BE CAREFUL, PLEASE

ALE

Looks absolutely fine, but you aren't supposed to post QC pictures on here, unless in the 111 thread.

 

[vvind]

Sorry baggy, i did post in there but didint get a reply from anyone for almost the whole day. Just want some people with more experience to let me know its good. Then i can tell the TD that its OK. They said they will also send me lume pictures and time graph after? Do they usually send the time thing after? Its to check how accurate the watch is? Whats a good reading for accurate time?

thanks

Anything between +/- 15-20 seconds a day is fine. My Noob 177 runs about 16 seconds a day fast, so I set it a minute slow once a week and let it catch up. That 111 looks very nice and everything is where it should be. The lume on it will be like a torch after thirty seconds in the sun or under a spotlight, and it will be readable all night.

 

[vvind]

Yeah i think the pam111 should be really bright. Ive seem alot of good lume shots on it.

If the timing reading says fast +10. Will it always stay like that? So i guess the best would be +/- 5 seconds closer to 0

 

[BaggyPants]

The closer to 0 the better, but even the genuine article lose or gain seconds in a day, so don't expect it to not do so. It also depends on how you move when you wear it, as that can influence the timing.

Deleted QC pics, they are not allowed
You could get an infraction for that
Besides you have already post them in the correct place and you have the answer

So i guess the best would be +/- 5 seconds closer to 0

You are guessing wrongly
As above said +/- 15-20 sec/day is OK
