New Strap Arrived for Bronzo

[Gitteeup]

Hi All,
While awaiting my PAM 382, I ordered a bronze buckle and strap. Thinking this is going to be a good look

The strap is a lighter shade but like the weathered feel for this watch. Not too matchy

Dude, nice. That is going to look awesome

Thanks man. I appreciate the support.

I've never had good luck with canvas straps. I had a few made by Micah and they eventually looks like they are falling apart. Hope yours holds up better

The only canvas strap that has held for me is the dual ones, the underside is rubber stitched to a top of canvas. Otherwise they've all been wrecked within 1 year of wearing.

I have one from Gunny, canvas stitched over leather, that's holding pretty well though leather parts is a bit thick and still not as soft as I'd wish after a few years

Personally I'd recommend a green shark strap. I regret selling my Bronzo with that strap

You are 100% true. I was in Napa on a trip so I picked up some stuff. He's your average right wing neanderthal

Yeah, not a nice guy to deal with, and his straps are also not the best IMO.

Regarding canvas, I like them, check out https://www.xamlam.com/ , he makes excellent canvas straps.

Never had that problem, but then again mine are in a rotation of many and I only wear them in a Sunday afternoon kinda environment. That is probably why they all look like on day one.

Bosphorus straps and Sword straps are amongst my favourites, but there are many others.

For heavy duty and potentially sweaty physical work situations I always wear something with metal or rubber. Or no watch at all.

The best canvas straps have rolled tips - which is an extremely difficult process to complete properly. Most makers will cut and glue the tip which will eventually fail with lots of wear (in my experience). One of the best that I have found is Sornsan - who creates perfect rolled tips.

Dr. Phil also makes a very nice canvas strap (cut & glued) at reasonable prices.

My favorite canvas of all time is by Mustang - unfortunately no longer around. Note the rolled tip...

Great info gents. Thanks for the comments. More shopping to do. Will it ever end? Haha

One more vote for dr. Phil
His straps are great quality for a reasonable price.
