5 Pannies and I'd guess 18-19 straps. I'm on the road at the moment, so I can't get an actual count. I'm going to "thin the herd" soon, no sense keeping straps that I'm not gonna wear anytime soon in the ol' watch box.

Plus I need to fund the purchase of one of those new, super-thick GeF straps and a GeF Cordovan. :wink:

MPs and GeF are the way to go.

1 PAM (with one on the way) and about 16 or so straps (with two on the way).

1 GeF
A BUNCH of Toscanas, TC Dirks, an OF, a Maestro, etc from E.
1 decent rep strap (if you can call it a rep strap) from Davidsen. He actually sends 'keepers'.

On the way is:
1 GeF
1 MP (or possibly another GeF)

So within a week or so I'll be at two PAMs and 18 or 19 straps.....

Watchdude, you clearly have a discrepancy ratio of watches to straps. Cool.

Best way to build a strap collection. Now if we could talk Davidsen into a BB special, I could catch up on the watch side of things..... :lol:

Straps!

Here's a plug for Greg Stevens straps. Love his stuff! I have a Crazy Horse and a Historic Brown that I had him distress for me. Great stuff. His straps are pretty popular on the paneristi site and there is a link there to his blog. He is currently on a strap making hiatus but his stuff is definitely worth the wait.

Strap crazy?

That's not me... not yet at least. 1 pam, 1 strap. That's it. No more no less. Guess I'm the crazy one for being this scrooge about my pam. :)

Well watchdude has set the bar so far. I thought I was bad glad to hear I'm not the only one. 3 pams and about 9 or 10 straps . I guess I owe it all to the Big Balls specials. Gotta love em. Waiting for the strap case E is sending with the last special, it should be nice.

Wow, I always knew I'd be famous - but never knew this was gonna be the reason..... :oops:

Y'all will be happy to know, my 16:1 (strap to PAM) ratio has now been CUT IN HALF!!!

I'm sitting at 8.5:1 now as I took delivery of another PAM and one more strap. I've got two on the way, so I'm edging back up to double digit strap to PAM ratio.

Here they are together (if you haven't seen them in the review section):
