Hi all

First post here!


Was wondering if there was a source for getting straps for my rep PAM111? I need a new rubber strap and possibly a leather one.

Would you recommend getting one from our trusted dealers?

Thanks in advance!

Puretime has straps from memory or keep an eye on M2M as folk often sell Pam rubber.

I think every TD can get them. I got few asso's from Sead in last order.

could anyone point me in the right direction for a source of OEM pam straps (i need one for a PAM127 like the cashmere gold calf and one for a PAM390 like the asso).

Alternative: how can i find the best (look and quality) alternative to the OEM version?

Not sure if I have ordered from pure time.. Filled in form on line and nobody has got back to me about payment. Some bad reviews for him in his review section but lots of good ones as we'll.. Sead has also been in touch buy he hasn't a firm date when he can get one.. I would buy gen if I could find one..

You do know what OEM straps are worth, yes?
If you want good leather PAM straps try any of the sellers in our strap makers and supporting vendors sections.
If you want super soft I recommend Gunny and Bakeka from personal experience.

What do you mean "how much they are worth"?

I know they are expensive, but as far as i know some of the original straps (like the cashmere gold calf or the brown Asso for the PAM390) are - almost - worth it.

In general i just like the idea of having a strap that looks very close to the OEM and i don't like the extreme colored or worn straps.

So i am either looking for a source for the OEM (which is cheaper than the dealership) or a source for high quality copies of the OEM straps.

Would be curious if i am alone with this opinion and like to hear if one of you can recommend some straps.

thanks,
