How is the strap?

[cypress]

Hi, just ordered my second rep. Not received yet the first one. I think I'm addicted now.

It's a PAM 111 N V4 Noob 1:1 from Chazingtime. Brown calf leather strap.

I'm not sure to keep the strap. What do you think about it?

I like leather straps but maybe a darker one or Black or with matte finish, maybe oiled.

Is the size 22?

Could you recommend me a strap dealer and some nice models? If possible not more expensive than the watch.

Thanks.

Try Mr Hanz from Singapore. Very nice straps. Or Dirk straps from Belgium. Both have websites

Strap size at the lug is 24mm.

Thank you. I will check for a 24mm lug size at Or Dirk.

Is the original Noob V4 strap a good quality?

Could you give me the Or Dirk website? Is it a TD here? With Or dirk straps on google, I found panelist.com or strapmasters.com.

Most of the Asian straps are not great quality. You can find Dirk on Paneristi

That's a gross and wrong misconception.

Some of the best strap makers are actually based in Asia:
- Malio Straps, Indonesia
- Gunny Straps, Indonesia
- Celdy Straps, Indonesia
- Tunx Straps, Indonesia
- Pulcher's, Indonesia
- V28 Customs, Indonesia
- Mr. Hanz, Indonesia
- Wotancraft, Taiwan
- Ted Su, Taiwan
- Banda, Hong Kong
- EternitizzzStrap, Hong Kong
- Heroic18, Hong Kong
- Mestiery, Hong Kong
- Saxon Verreno, Hong Kong
- Strap Culture, Hong Kong
- Strap Works, Hong Kong
- Zergun Straps, Hong Kong
- Jason & Sherron, Singapore
- Straps 66, Singapore
- L'Atelier Bespoke, Vietnam
- Stonee Straps, Thailand
- Zirdiva Straps, Thailand

Right. I meant from the replica makers. If you look I actually mention Mr Hanz. I've bought many straps from him. My apologies - I meant the ones that come with the factories aren't that great. But that's my opinion

Lots of great strap makers all over the globe, with varying degrees of quality and price (list from lmmo is a pretty good one for those based in Asia, but there are also good strap makers from other regions like the US and EU). Definitely a step up above what's usually provided with PAM reps (except for the rubber straps, they're pretty good compared to OEM for the price). Since your PAM111 from Ken is around 200$, that certainly widens the field of choice for you.
