PAM strap: TCStrap or BOB strap(s)

[John71]

Hi

I can't decide what to do, either buy a good TC strap (http://www.tcstraps.com/) around 150USD or buy multiple cheaper straps from BOB straps (http://www.waccex.de/)...


What would you guys do and which strap? It's for a Noob PAM111N

For $150 you should check out some of the custom strap makers, you can get a bespoke strap for just about the same price. Check out Micah here, I just ordered a Brindle strap from him and have seen some great pics of the Metta strap also.

Also, check out Bas & Lokes, I'm dying to get their Drifter Havana

Ok, thanks! So quality before quantity for most people around here?

What else for around 100usd?

It depends what you are looking for but I checked out gunny straps, combatstraps, bas & lokes, Micah and a few others. There is a good list here and here

http://toshi-straps.co.uk/index.html these ones are great!

But anyone experience with those BOB straps? Good quality?

hey John, I got a similar prob
I started a few days that thread: http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/difference-between-cheap-103741 "Difference between cheap and expensive Straps"
If you like take a look... I got two BOB Straps and they are ok for the price no question but I think like most guys said in the thread - you will take notice of the more money you will spend!
I think I would try also a better strap in future to compare if the money is worth!

Personally I prefer variety - the middle ground or such. Maybe 2 70 or 80 usd straps - as mentioned in this range there is a lot of choice!

I'm going for one of those Toshi straps I guess... medium priced so good to begin with I think

I've bought from Gunny recently and his straps are beautiful. He has them in the sub-$100 and upward. He'll also make you a custom strap. The problem is that he is a two person operation and tends to be swamped with work.
