Hi all,

Any suggestions for a strap to go with a 359? Any pics would help :)

Currently thinking of a very dark brownish strap (undecided on leather or croc) with the same brownish colour of the dial as the stitching. Seems like a pretty good combo to me but would love to see what other combination that some of you out there have on yours :)

So fire away with the pics!

Eriction14; I just received my 359 last week, and decided to ask Gunny to make a strap for it. After talking with him about what style of strap I had in mind, he directed me to the Caitlin3. You'll find it on his website, along with many other styles. This Caitlin3 is more for casual everyday wear, but he has a gallery of many straps from casual to dress. He's listed as a TD for straps here in RWI, and I've had a great experience communicating with him. Will post pics once I receive the strap.

What do you think of the 359? I love it!

Here is the Cailin2 on my PAM390 with a "brown" dial as well, with lume matching stitching.









You have also the 339 Series which has shades of dark brown, picture from PG blog :






Or the Edbert, which is like an Asso :



Brown Caitlin8, you can have lighter stitchin :



His last Ocean1 Serie :




Have a look at his blog, plenty of choice for a PAM359.

But you have many straps makers who can make you a nice strap to fit your PAM359 ;)

As Evora wisely mentions there's many strapmakers who will make exactly what you want.
However, one of the best looking straps for the 359 is the oem strap the gen is sold with. It's a black calf strap with ecru stitching. Complements the 359 perfectly. One of the few straps that I've received compliments for to this day.

Thanks for the suggestion tnp, will be browsing through his selection shortly. As for the 359? What can I tell you mate, I'm with you all the way. i ABSOLUTELY love it. It's my 1st rep and it has the most wrist time compared to others! :D

Couldn't agree more with you Vb, I think the OEM strap for the 359 is absolutely stunning! To the point where I'm even considering buying the gen itself! The rep strap that came with the 359 is not too shabby too. Might try to contact a few strapmakers about the possibility of making the OEM strap (if that's possible) in hope of saving some dough :D

And nice pics too Evora! Those darker coloured strap certainly gets my attention :)
