Help with PAM 505 ZF purchase, please

[doryon]

Hi everyone,
I've been an avid reader, trying to learn about this universe that you all like so much, until now that I've made my first purchases.

I've bought and Aqua Terra (no issues still there) from InTime and and a PAM 505 (my all time favorite watch ever) from TSwatch.

I chose ZF over KW from a few reasons, being the main one the strap.

I'm not sure if I can post QC pictures here, please let me know, but I'd like you guys to help me determine if I'm not wrong rejecting the watch because of it.
The thing is, the top layer of the strap seems to be not glued properly to the bottom. So when it comes near the bar lugs it starts to come apart, like little wings or flaps. In every picture I've seen of ZF 505 the strap finishes perfectly and nothing like the QC pics I got.
I noted that rejecting the piece if they cannot get the right strap displayed in every promotional picture on their site.
I really hope they can get the right one as I love the watch, but I'd really like to have your input.

Is it allowed to post the pictures here?

Thanks in advance,

Hi, I had my ZF Pam 372 for a week and I can tell that the original rep strap is not durable at all. I am only wearing the strap now as it takes few more days for the other two straps I ordered to come. It's a good idea to start getting a new strap while waiting for the watch.

Thanks for the advice, francias026!
I'll take it in consideration.

Regarding the QC pics, do you know if it's OK to post them here?

QC pics are not allowed unless you have specific issues.
If you already noticed the strap is damaged just ask the dealer to source a new one. But be ready to order a proper strap once you receive the watch, because it will most likely be a crappy strap. I had a lot of PAMs in my hands and only a couple had decent straps that deserved to be worn.
