Hi guys,

Got my PAM508 last week and I have to say it looks frigging incredible. The only thing I don't really like is the strap. Been looking around on the web but haven't seen that many other options.

Does anyone have any insight on this one?

Thanks

I have a pam508 coming in and was looking around for the same thing. Found anything since you posted this?

I wear mine on a bosphorus canvas strap with black sub buckle. I think the lighter colored strap brings out the black ceramic.

I think it looks better in person (increased contrast, texture, etc.) I've tried a few of my straps (Malio, Di Stefano, etc) and the tan colored python skin seems to look best. Another one to look at is a tan colored ostrich.

Yeah I really dig the textured tan you have going on there. Ever consider a cork
Snpr strap?

Check the Corrigia Kampfschwimmer series ( Prototipo B ) and Wotancraft, both superb quality. There's also a great option on ebay ( antique_leatherstraps ).

Thank you for the heads up! I will definitely look into those.

Hope you find something that sings to you. I always check the Paneristi forum M2M, hundreds of offers there at all times and some great deals too.

Man where were you a year ago when I started this hobby! I feel I've been wasting money on crappy rep straps when I could have known about these!

I was here all along,you just have to ask ;)

I think you picked a really good match.

But before you pull the trigger check out the Desert01 strap from Bosphorus straps on Etsy and Alfio's offerings ( Bakeka straps,a TD on this board, amazing guy to deal with and very reasonable prices ).
