New Shoes for my $99 special PAM186 (Pics inside)

[alex.cpa]

This is the watch I got for $99 from Tony when he had special right around Xmas. Original thread about it is here:

And now my buddy has finished this awesome stingray strap to my specifications..which has also inspired me to get new shoes..

 

[MadeOfCheese]

Sweet! Is the stingray strap comfortable?

 

[alex.cpa]

Very much so...its on calf hide backing.

 

[DonBrizzel]

sting ray? now that is cool!!

 

[believer123]

That is bold and daring. I a bit on the conservative side, but I really like it.

That strap makes the Pam shine so much more it's nice. Congrats

 

[LupTak]

Interesting combo. Certainly beyond my comfort zone but do appreciate the beauty.

Sorry i dont like it.

I am thinking about having it died darker blue. And restiched with aqua blue threading to Make it a bit less "uncomfortable" looking. It is bald by intent but also is a test mule for summer color combos.

Re "That strap makes the Pam shine so much more it's nice. Congrats"

Thanks for pointing it out. The head itself is far inferior to H or N latest offerings. But with strap like this the whole watch is nested comfortably with its higher grade siblings

The amazing part is that my buddy is making straps like this in his spare time basically on his kitchen table. Stay tuned for new variations. And we r not talking photoshop / lightroom here

I honestly dont think so. the one you have linked to Silix is stated to have 6497???

Mine as well as countless other 186s is with automatic A7750. I believe Silix has the onle like mine here (for $250):

indeed, then maybe its the same watch just advertized with inocrrect movement. If so, its a great noob pam sub.

 

[hidden impact]

they have incorrect descriptions for a few of their items...6497, i'm assuming, in that one is clearly not correct.

can it be an a21j gmt movement? what other "cheap" movements can be gmt?

also, your link is not for the gmt.

the gmt arktos is this $275:
