PAM 360 KV V2 - Strap stiff like steel !

[lovesRM]

Going through my watches I found a good old Pam 360 which was still partly wrapped in plastic, so I never wore it before.

Now I was trying it on and it felt like the strap had an overdose of viagra. Is there any way to make the leather a bit more comfortable?

Give it a bath or something?

I normally do three things 1) oil the strap with some vegetable oil in a small zip lock bag - will darken the strap. 2) then bleach the strap - can use any bathroom cleaner - then soak with water to dry overnight 3) repeat oiling. This distresses the strap I find and gives it a nice vintage oil feel

What kind of strap is it? If it's a generic one that comes on the 360, then just put some leather conditioner on it and see if that helps. Not all leather is created equal and rep strap leather is faux leather more often than not.

Rep leather is nearer to cardboard than leather. :lol:

Rep straps are not fit for wear. I save the buckles and throw them away. Panerai, Dirk, Paci, Simona, Wotancraft are great places to start for decent straps.

Gunny is one of my favorite strap makers. For the rep strap I suggest rubbing with oil it will darker it and spend an hour or so bending twisting rolling bending twisting it.

Like I said, bleaching and also sanding will give you a good distressed look
