Qc Pics Latest Pam 288k From Lay

[hooligan]

By "clasp" you mean a deployant? If so, I know that SMAT/pam2pam makes custom straps for deployant buckles.

If you're thinking of going OEM, unless your wrist is 6.25" or smaller, the regular 115/75 size for OEM straps should work for you. Keep in mind that the design of the deployant buckles makes the straps wear a little smaller than the measurements would indicate (since there is a fair amount of metal between your wrist and the strap).

Lol, yeh meant deployantWish i had just went for the strap upgradeicard:

Did you pull the trigger on one yourself?

Not yet. I'm going to see who's got the best price this weekend, most likely.

 

[sharrkey]

Best i can find now is $228 + shipping + $100 for the croc strap upgrade, far cry from the Cartel's prices....
I got a great deal from Lay, so can't complain, and to receive qc pics and video is a welcome change:thumbsup:

Btw here's a link to Babola's review with i thought was very good

Got the 288 yesterday. My wrist is 7.25" and the strap fits okay not great. The custom strap I ordered won't be here until Jan so I am wearing the "cheap" rep strap for now.

I will readily admit I am not a PAM expert (you PAM WIS's are a different breed, btw) but this thing is very very nice.

Received mine from Lay today and its awesome. Deffo needs a more beefy strap to go with it though

 

[sharrkey]

I'm still waiting for mine, think it was posted on the 8th, and this is the worst time of the year to be waiting for anything via the postal service.
Ahh well, it will arrive when it arrives.

 

[hooligan]

Submitted my order with Lay...

 

[sharrkey]

Submitted my order with Lay...

Hey sharrkey, great watch, I ordered one from Lay that was also shipped on the 8th and still waiting. EMS tracking has'nt even been updated since 10th december! Im in England by the way, was hoping to have it by xmas but starting to look unlikely now :-(

 

[Mambo]

Mine was shipped by Lay on the 12th, ... it's in the UK according to EMS tracking, looking good so far, hopefully here before X-mas

Just a quick QC pic for you. I went for gen croc.

Lucky guy! Yeah I think something is wrong with mine, this is about my 5th rep sent by EMS and never had this. Tracking literally shows no movement for the last week, I know EMS tracking isnt great at the best of times but I am a little concerned. Will give it till after xmas I reckon then contact Lay.

Im very pleased for you, if a little jealous!

 

[hooligan]

What strap option did u go for hooligan?

Standard strap. I'm not much of a gator guy, so I'll go with an aftermarket calf strap. Probably from Heroic.

 

[sharrkey]

Yeh mate mines the exact same, no movement on ems or parcelforce, I to was looking forward to receiving before Christmas, but not to worry so long as it arrives safe, after 2 1/2 years of rep collecting u would think I'm used to the wait, NOT lol.

Cheers Mambo, u have really made my day now. :facepalm:

Yeh Heroic straps are really smart, Unfortunility with me having a small wrist I can't get away with a thick strap, tried it before on a 177, strap was stunning but just to big for my wrist.
