Hi folks, I got this Noob version PAM 390N. The strap is very tight and uneasy. Is this common? Is this supposed to get better after wearing it long? Or this is considered bad quality strap? I'm confused? Should I give it some more time or buy a proper quality strap? What is the size of the strap I should be looking? Can we get high quality straps under $50? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Look on paneristi and you can find some deals. Sometimes even deals here. I would say a 100 will be what you need to spend for a great strap like Paco Micah etc. You are looking for a 24mm strap. Length depends on your wrist size

yes the 22mm means its tapered and is the buckle size. I prefer 24x24 but everyone has their own taste. If yours came with an Asso strap it will have a 22mm buckle

There are litterally a ton of options that go with the 390. I have it on a Orloff croc.
Check the strapmakers section here first (and on RG if you're a member there).
If you want to stay around 50 usd I can suggest ikiestik (fly watch straps) on RG, or maybe try panatime.

I'm posting my strap picture and it is mentioned by the seller as- new darker padded asso

If I'm going to similar quality, then I think I should use this one and let it break and not spend. Let me also know is this is considered good quality strap.

A rep strap will never compare to a custom made one.

ask Orloff and order a chocolate Alligator ;)

Some details pls? Orloff a member or seller? Any site? Thanks.

What do you think about my strap pic? Is it very bad or other straps will be of same quality?

Mario Orloff is an excellent strapmaker, trusted seller on repgeek forum and on Paneristi.com ;)

A nice guy

your strap is nice imho. if you want a top strap you need of a custom like Orloff, Simona Di Stefano, Altamarea, Gunny, GSD and others

Orloff is one of the strap makers I tried whose quality exceeded my expectations. I can assure you his prices are very fair, you will not find such quality for the 100-120 usd he asks ;)
Anyway a pic speaks louder than 1000 words, here are a couple of his straps:
