Strap Freaks!!!

[Andrey_PAM]

What's 'wrong' with the straps from your pov? Personally I'm not a huge fan of leather straps at the moment and imo canvas fits pams very well

It's your choice, of course, but it looks torn. I guess it costs $10 no more.
I would immediately throw this one in the trash bin))
But of course it's up to you to decide.

I am sure he did not mean that canvas doesn’t look good on Pams, it’s just that those canvas straps that you posted are not very well made. Please take a look at canvas straps from Bosphorus, Xamlam or Anatolia and I am sure you will spot differences.

pf78, look here, t.ly/RJCP you can choose a good canvas strap for such a beautiful watch as yours.

Yeah I understand, l only have canvas' from Dr Phil and Bosphorous but still, the difference is noticable.

On wrist the strap doesn't looks bad so I won't bin those , just use it less often

What brand do you all recommend for leather straps at a good value? I've used Barton before, but I am looking to expand my horizons.

You have to be a little more specific. What does good value mean to you? Which watch will this strap be for?

Something that is a good bang for your buck but isn't immediately recognized as cheap when someone looks at it. As for the second question, because I like to switch between straps all the time, one strap could be on a $2000 watch or a $100 watch.

Yeah, we all get that strap changing is fun
But is it supposed to be for Panerai watches at least?

Great having found this thread and finding the few hours time to read through all 41 pages

...so this is really the Pan Strap Freaks thread right?

 

[aus_wolfie]

grew a little tired of all the folded, rivet, solid etc so decided to experiment with two Gunny - Dakkar & Le Mans Racer

Your canvas was still far superior to many of mine and I was kinda happy with my rough canvas NATO's on my military watches but once you know where to go looking there really is so much better out there - distressed included

Just a reminder. this thread is in the PANERAI section mate

aha that explains a lot - its under the panerai umbrella! - which I had not in fact noticed despite 41 pages of Pam strap shots thanks for pointing out my folly

PS you can have a mod delete so as not to destroy the flavour of this thread

No new straps to share... but who else goes on a strap changing session only to put the original combos back together?

Fresh from Sornsan, went and pick them up myself while I was having some downtime at Bangkok
