Okay, after several weeks of reading the forums and a lot of contemplation, I just ordered my 1st PAM...... a PAM253 from Andrew at TT.

So, as every NEWBIE progression goes, I'm looking for the right strap to use along with the diver strap that the 256 ships with.

I have a few questions:

1. What is all of your opinion of the best looking strap for the 253?

2. Is there a significance to some strap's stitching connecting with a stitch line at the watch an some open? (hope that makes sense)

3. What makes a great strap? I look at all the posts and the strap vendors and I can't tell the difference between a $250 strap and a $50? Help???

4. Is soft supple leather something you look for in a really nice strap? If so, who makes the softest?

Thanks for all your help! I thought my stress of picking the right PAM model was over then.... OH, I need a cool strap, and I'm stressed all over again :) What great stress it is.... this is fun!
