There is any PAM 288k with brown strap available, straight from the box? I saw only the black strap version, but there is a any way to find a brown strap version, too?

It's just as well, the rep black croc that they come on isn't the best, so you'd likely end up buying an aftermarket strap anyway...a nice Gunny Caitlin is my favorite combo with the 288.

If you're really determined though, I'm sure you could find a dealer that's willing to switch the strap for you before they ship it...(but it might cost you a bit extra).

My advice is don't waste any additional money on a rep strap. Just take it like it is and then you can sell the strap it came with and use the proceeds towards a nicer aftermarket strap.

I think I'll pick this way, thks for the idea.
Anyone knows the width of the strap for the 288k? I found few websites, but I don't know which strap can fit the watch...

Mine is 27/24 (for regular pam-style buckle). I ordered custom work from Piotr after looking at his website http://pistrap.com/. This guys is quite known on GEN forums and he did not have idea the strap will be for a rep ;)

The strap comes with a PAM buckle? And what does mean 27/24? Its width I suppose is 27 mm, but what's the 24 stand for? And how much did you pay for it?

27mm is the width at the lugs, 24 mm is the width for the buckle...27 is a must but depending on what type of buckle or clasp you want then you can have either 24, 22 or even 26.

As said above me, forget the rep strap.

Here`s a couple of shots of different browns.

Everywhere I searched for, I only found 26 mm width straps, so I guess 27 mm are available only for customized orders... :(

By the way, Pizzanooo, what does the "GS CH2" mean?
