Strap questions from a noob

[cndwatchguy]

Hi all,

Just pickup a PAM 104I rep on rubber and looking to buy a leather strap.

For the PAM 44mm cases, is the strap with 24mm at the head?

Also, I have an 8.25" wrist, what lenght of strap whould I get?

Any advice would be great.

Correct on the lug width.

Do you like a lot if tail on your straps?

Thanks for the help.
Not too much tail about 1.5", 2.0" max passed the eyelet i would use.

Its 24mm, here is a more in-depth explanation with all measurements of OEM straps.

Here is a starting table from Dirk Gandry's site:
135/90mm fits wrists 21 to 22cm
130/85mm fits wrists 20 to 21cm
125/80mm fits wrists 19 to 20cm
120/75mm fits wrists 18 to 19cm
115/70mm fits wrists 17 to 18cm
110/65mm fits wrists 16 to 17cm
105/60mm fits wrists 15 to 16cm

Remark of mine: if you tend to buy a thicker strap, you definitely need longer straps than if you want to have OEM or even thinner ones. Since you have a large wrist (like a bear :lol, I guess you should go for thicker 5-6mm straps in 24x24mm size.

I have a 7.75" wrist and with a 4-5mm thick strap (as most custom straps are for Pams) and a 44mm case, I need @ 135-140/90-95 strap length. With 8.5" wrist, I'd say 145/100. Just my guestimate.

Another stupid question.
When you measure your wrist do you measure it as you want to watch to fit (a little loose), or do you measure right against the skin?

personal preferance mate i always wear a bit loose and leave a little for swelling, but some wear tight its your choice!
