HELP! First PAM (112), what strap?

[watchnewbie1]

So I just ordered from Toro via Western for my first time... a bit worried, but the communication has been great so far. I initially wanted the rubber strap for the 112N, but realized my wrist of 6'5 will be too skinny for it after reading the boards. Should I go for the regular black/brown or croc skin? What would you get for the first rep?

PS
I realize I should be getting an aftermarket strap at some point as well.

You should be fine with the rep rubber/silicone band. If you want to go aftermarket, there a ton of options.

I always opt for rubber, it should fit. If you want leather, I'd say go with the brown. You can punch a hole if you need to, and dye the brown to black if you find you want to change it up. If you're not comfortable doing either, I can help you out. More than likely you'll want to order a new strap for it. My suggestion would be to go with something soft and not too thick due to your wrist size. 3.5mm or under would be ideal.

You think the rubber would fit my small wrist? I've read that it won't be too tight based on some other forums i've read? I like a snug fit... not loose.

You can always punch an extra hole if need be

True -- any suggestions on how to punch that extra hole?

You can usually find these at pretty much any hardware store or ebay:

Then measure twice and punch once.

Try Asso. The Asso strap that came with my pam111 fits my 6.5" +- wrist fine
