Quality straps at budget prices!

[mysterio]

Guy's name is Phil if I recall and the straps are thick and soft. He'll post more when he has more stock I got one from him 1-2 years ago there is another thread about this, an older thread.

Maybe the mods can merge the thread:

https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/found-a-great-strap-on-ebay.263502/

I would suggest getting one that looks like a "gunnystrap" and permanent pen writing the "76" yourself, LOL, so you can have a "rep" strap to go with your "rep" PAM!

Only caveat is that mine came in smelling strongly of some chemical perhaps used to dye it, a day or two out in the sun helped.

That thread is over a year old and eventually got mixed up with other sellers. This thread can stand on its own, for now.

Did you provide the labeled Panerai buckle or does the seller sell labeled buckles?

I provided my own, there's a guy on eBay Australia that sells them in 24mm, brushed or polished

What strap is that exactly?
I cannot seem to find this strap on the website.
Really like the look it gives your 250!

Thanks!!! I can't recall the name he gave it, but as stated he updates his straps as available. You're welcome to use one of my pics to show him the color, but yeah, it matches the PAM look really nicely IMO....

Ok guys the straps turned up. I purchased on the 4th and they turned up today so that's 9 days from Thailand to U.K.
The straps I purchased are a stonewash type finish with no further treatment done a little like nubuck type leather so could easily stain or get dirty as they have no type of coating on them just basically dry leather. I will say though the stitching and finish is very neat and tidy. Here's a couple of pictures when they turned up then one I have fitted to my 508 as it is and the other I have experimented with it, waxing then buffing and am really happy with the result of that one. I will see how the other one stands up untreated on the 508. Can't really complain at $23 each including shipping.

The last photo is the one transformed from working the leather with my hands bending both direction then waxing and buffing with a yellow duster rag. [emoji106][emoji6]

Looks good! I ordered two just a few days ago. Hopefully it arrives soon (located in Singapore).

Side note: where do you guys get those beautiful sub-embossed PAM buckles?

Awesome! Thanks a million!

I will say the leather used is VERY soft, one of my most comfortable straps!! I love the look you achieved @Philph23, great finishing work, looks more like a $150 strap now

 

[Philph23]

Yes, no matter what type of finish they come in quality and stitching of these straps are excellent.

Can I ask, what wax did you use to get that beautiful finish?? I'd love to do that to some of mine bought from this seller!!!
Thanks in advance

Occasionally they offer vintage ammo strap for about 60 bucks so keep an eye on this store. I bought so many from them in the past few years and every single strap is the real deal for the money. Well worth it!

OK I really want a pig buckle and an oxblood or maroon or whatever strap! I've got a 411. I'll be able to find a stainless or brushed pig rather than a brass one? Ali? And I want one with the really pronounced pre-V shape, the wilder the better. Kid in a candy store. Grown ass man but can't learn.

It's this I had knocking about the house as I'm a carpenter by trade so it's actually a wax polish for woods but if it works it works I suppose.

Loads of Pam buckles on Ali mate,If you do a bit digging around the site or App you will find what you want,
I've had the brass sub/pig buckles in bronze & stainless from there & they are tip top in 24mm or 26mm sizes,
Definitely a lot better than paying eBay prices
