PAM111 Noob strap

[VIV54]

Today my PAM111 noob strap broke and I'm looking for a replacement one. Since Noob factory is closed, which is the best quality replica pam111 strap that I can buy? Do you have some suggestions?

there are tons of high quality strap makers out there, depending on your budget. Almost all of my factory straps go right in the bin. DiStefano, Corrigia, DC Leather, Mario Paci, ZicZac (great if on a budget), Dirksen, Mansarea, and dozens more. Search the web or Esty

Sorry I didn't specified that I'm looking for a rubber strap not a leather one, May you suggest me a good quality one with the panerai logo?

Sorry, I should have asked if yours was leather or rubber--they came both ways depending on the factory. I've bought a bunch from Aliexpress years ago, but ending up buying OEM Panerai straps for the few Pams I wear on rubber. Its a noticeable difference in quality, and I also need an XL, which they don't make in reps. if you don't want to spend the $200 on a genuine strap, then I'd say take your pick from the ones you see on Aliexpress or Etsy. The rep straps all likely come from the same factory, so probably not much difference in quality among them... There really isn't anything in between except for Horus, but they aren't branded (and close to gen prices)

I have found there to be some difference in quality amongst rep Panerai rubber straps. Some are very hard and stiff, while others are a little softer and more gen like. There are a few decent sellers on eBay. My suggestion would be to target one in the $35 - $50 price range vs. the sub $20 variety….although you don’t always get what you pay for.

do you know any rubber strap for PAM that doesn't have the logo but feels like the gen one in terms of rubber quality?

Horus straps are very nice, and almost identical in appearance minus the branding (but lots more colors to choose from). They are close to gen prices, though, at $185, but you can likely find a 15% coupon pretty easily-

Greenstraps (Giorgos) is your man

But not for rubber, sorry

I bought from Buystrap, no idea if the quality is good or if it is some silicone stiff strap, I honestly don't hope so.

yes I really like horus straps but honestly paying more than 100$ for a piece of rubber in my opinion is too much. In the end also the most expensive rubber with the years can get dry and break.
