Waiting for the arrival of my first PAM. A 312. I know it comes with 24/22mm straps but i’ve seen so many photos of 24mm all the way around. Given that it takes forever to get a hold of straps overseas, what is the best looking size for this classic pam? I am 50/50 split on both. I looked at ZicZac croc straps from vietnam, that i think i like.

advice is greatly appreciated!

Dinkis- what size do you prefer? 24/22 or straight 24?

also im guessinf the buckle can be easily removed from the strap the watch arrives in and installed on the aftermarket, right? I will look at those brands now.

If you're sticking with the buckle that will come with the watch then your strap choices will be limited to 24/22 as the buckle is 22mm. If you're thinking of 24/24 straps then I suggest you buy a aftermarket PAM buckle. Lots of those on Ali, DHgate, and even on M2M here.

Just take it one step at a time.

what size do you like? 22/24 or 24/24. And this is also a good time to order a longer size if you want a tail or have a bigger wrist. And if you want 24/24 you’ll need a buckle or a strap with a buckle.

what material do you want! A simple leather or an exotic leather (crock or shark)?

what color do you want?

now is the time to do it right. And a lot of strap makers are having sales right now. Corrigia, ST Straps, Mays Berlin just to name a few that are running sales at the moment.

Good point. Leaning towards 24/22 so i can keep the original buckle. Narrowed down to only croc, ostrich, or snake for the premium look. ST straps look good, will check Mays Berlin.

but i can’t find anyone who can beat ZicZac leather. You guys buy from him yet? He has nice crocs.

Enjoy the changing of the straps! It’s what makes a Panerai fun. Try all kinds. You’ll enjoy it.

And make sure you order long enough. 10mm too long won’t make that big of a deal but 10mm too short could make it a waste of effort and money.

I have two Kain Heritage straps, among others, for mine. One is the limited brown croc, and another is a distressed black. Prices are reasonable. I'll try to take a pic [h=3][/h]
