Just ordered my first PAM -- strap question

I just ordered an H-Factory PAM 390 from Trevor, and now that waiting begins. It seems like most people around these parts dislike the included straps, even on the nicer reps like this one. So if I could get help with a couple of questions:

1. Is the strap on this 390 from Trevor likely to be crappy? Or does the "super rep" status of this model include the strap?

2. Where best to go buy a replacement strap? There are just so many options, I'm intimidated by the choices. Is there a strap that's closest to standard issue on the gen version of this watch?

Any advice on the strap for this particular model would be helpful, thanks!

The rubber straps are pretty good. In my experience, the leather straps are decent starter straps but I swap them out pretty quickly.

I usually get my straps from crownandbuckle.com
They're located conus and their prices are really attractive.

Greeting,

Any idea where to get the Jules Verne look alike strap? The OEM one is quite ex. Cost almost the same price as a rep PAM watch.

The nubuck alligator hide pattern with golden brown color look so attractive.

Thx

Looks like they have some amazing straps. Cant wait till I get my 111 so I can buy a strap for it.

The rep rubber strap is much better than the standard leather. I got the brown leather and was not a fan at all - I went with a sweet strap from Aaron at combatstraps and love it.

Grab the rubber and then get an aftermarket one

Dear friends
The OP is talking about a PAM 390.
The rubber strap is very good , but with this watch with brown dial and golden hands, the black rubber strap is not appropriate.
Moreover, the leather strap which has this H maker watch is one of the best leather strap that I have seen in a replica.
Wait to have the watch and you will decide about a change.

The combo PAM 390 with the rep strap from H maker is awesome !!
Just my opinion.

If ALE says it, then it is law, he knows literally everything about PAMs and their replicas!

My Noob leather strap is ok, a bit skinny, so I've just ordered a replacement which I thought would be better, but it is too wide to fit through my nice Noob buckle, and the one which came with it is pretty nasty! Can't decide what to do with it at the moment...

LOL Alex

Actually what I said is that the leather strap of PAM 390 H maker is one of the best found in a replica.
But it is not better than other expensive aftermarket strap.
I can say that I have still in my PAM 390 the rep strap from H maker, and I will keep it unitl it is very used. All people likes this combo !!

Just for reference, here's my h factory 360 on a crown and buckle strap

The thickness, quality, comfort and price point are very hard to beat
