Anyone feeling pain on the wrist when wearing the original rubber strap? Just got a 005 from toro and it is hurting my wrist.

It's because it's a rep rubber. The gen rubber is much much softer and flexible plus the gen comes in 125/75 size and it's much more comfortable on the wrist. The rep rubber rips out my arm hairs

Oh so that's why it hurts. I can't say I can relate as my arms are fuzz free. :lol:

Does anybody try Panerai with steel mesh strap? Will it mount? I've made a quick mockup in PS.

"like" is not the proper word

Love, admire, respect, envy, worship etc maybe... :)

Absolutely fantastic, many many thanks for this incredibly useful thread!

Out of curiosity: Usually the standard length for a PAM strap has been 115/75, which always was a bit tiny so I had to order XL length. Now I read somewhere that they recently changed the standard length to 125/90. Does anyone know if this is correct?

Edit: Maybe I'll better open a new thread... :unsure:

You can check this site for some guidance.

https://toshi-straps.co.uk/strap-width-length/

Basically it states that you'll need around 125/75 to 130/80 (wrists can sometimes decrease/increase in size depending on various factors). Also it depends how thick the strap you are thinking to buy, thicker means longer. Another factor is do you want the tail (the excess part after the keeper) long or short on your strap?
