Strap size

[KenRC51]

I'm looking at straps and I'm wondering what size strap are on the PAM250 and PAM111?

I'm fine with the length of the strap that was included with the watch.

Are the after market deployment buckle more comfortable than the rep ones from the watch?

Like from the link above. Are they better made?

If you are talking about asso strap, it's lenght is 115/75. Rubber should be the same. I believe standard pre-v buckle is most comfortable to wear. Didn't had PAM deployment but I love standard buckles.

As for the link above, I never bought from them but I would rather suggest you one of our strapmakers here. A bit more expensive but it's definitely worth paying premium for what you get. From cheaper straps I would take a look in here: http://stores.ebay.com/Kingnobstrap?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

I have two of their straps and they are great for the price. I hope it helps.

Thanks for your help! So those 2 straps are from the ebay seller? Looks really nice!
So my PAM250 and my future PAM111 are size 24mm?
Did you buy the buckle from someone else? Can you link me to where I can find buckle like your submarine and the pre-v buckle?

I saw some from the strap maker on the list but the ones I like are really expensive. I really like Mario Paci but they're over $200. Would you say that Mario's straps are better quality than the Gen straps?

No problem mate! Yup, both from this one I gave you the link of. Yes, both of your warches are 24mm and those straps will fit on them. For reference here they are on my 111:





You have to consider that brown one gets a lot darker with time but it ages nicely and quality is pretty good for the price.

Buckles were included with both straps but you can buy them separately. Here are the links on fe buckles although pre-v one you'll get with your 111:

However I would suggest you to get these straps with buckles included as difference in price is only about $10-15 and you get a strap for it.

You can ask for brushed or poloshed buckles, price is the same.
Also rep straps are 24/22 while these are 24/24 and buckles are pretty massive so bear that in mind.

Until now I got croc strap from Donerix (Hamilton leather) and I can tell only the best things for him. Really like his work. Also I have a strap from Jeremy (Primestraps) for my BR on the way and I also like his different and amazing style of strap making. Mario Paci is one of the best out there from what I read but I never had one and I think I never will as I can't justify to spend $200 or more for a strap. I prefer to invest it in another watch.

Hey, thanks a lot mate!!! what does the 24/22 mean? I know that they mean as in mm but does 24mm(width)/22mm(width towards end of strap)

I really like that tan/brown strap with the sub buckle in the last link. I might just get that on.

Oh yeah are these straps waterproof? I know that real leather are not suppose to touch water. Do I need to be careful while washing hands?

Thanks again!

Ya, 24mm at the lugs, 22mm at the buckle. It's called a tapered strap.

What he said. I don't believe they are waterproof but if it gets few drops of water I think it won't do anything to it.
