I bought a new strap from getat for my 288 because I really didnt get on with the strap or the deployment it came in. Really glad I didnt pay extra for the upgraded strap.

I went for black with white stitching, as in my eyes it complements the simple black and white of the dial.

Any feedback good or bad appreciated.

I'm really not liking my 288 on the stock strap either. I've ordered a custom thick strap and I'm hoping it'll change my mind about the watch. TBH I don't think the one you've got has added much to it. Just my opinion of course

I think it looks good and compliments the watch well. Is the watch polished and the buckle brushed?

I have just bought my first PAM 111h and will be fitting a custom strap, probably very similar to your choice.

I like it, fits well with the white stiching. Nice!

I know what you mean about not adding much, for me the look of the original strap is not far off though. Too thin, don't like taper or the deployment. I wanted something quite similar just chunky and with a buckle

I can't tell from the photos whether I like it or not. Is the buckle brushed? If so, I would have gone with a polished one, personally...... I also do not like the original strap and have ordered this.

I've had this watch for a while now and have not worn it once........Hopefully, that will change once it gets new shoes...

Nice strap from Heroic there, yes brushed buckle and polished watch -- regret that decision slightly.

can't go wrong with $45 per strap at Getat.

Looks good...one of the few PAM's that I'd stick to black leather/white stitch on.

And if the buckle is brushed, you can always polish it yourself. Just need a few ascending grits of sandpaper and some elbow grease.

This is the strap I'm hoping will make the watch pop a bit more for me. The pics look brown but it's actually black(at least I hope so!). Should be in the mail late this week/early next week
