New strap for a PAM 505 Composite

Recommended Posts

Pmat

Hi guys.

 

The strap on my PAM 505 Composite has finally fallen to pieces. So, I am looking for a new, replacement strap.

 

If possible, I'd prefer a strap of the same colour as in the picture below. Can anyone point me in the right direction??

Looks good to me. I'd better find the sizing of my original strap and start scouring their site. Cheers.

Don't come in the right sizes for a PAM 505!

 

The search continues.

Yeah, the original strap was excellent but has finally give up on me after extensive use. I bought a strap off ebay but the colour was all wrong...and the leather was as tough as old boots.

If you send photos of the strap to Nero straps (found on this forum) he will make you one, I've got a 74 strap on its way from him $80 delivered to the UK. Once it's here I will post pictures

I ordered a dark brown alligator off EBay a couple of weeks ago. I'll post pics on here once it arrives, should be any day now.

I ordered 2 straps for my 505 in a tan leather that I think contrasts nicely with the dark case. One from JP Leatherworks and one from Fluco. Both are very nice quality without breaking the bank. If you're looking for a low-cost solution, check these out.

Look for a "BOB Vertigo Buffalo" on ebay. They are practicly the same as the asso straps that come with our reps. 26/22mm

I've looked at all the suggested sites and BOBs are probably the closest - I can't believe it's so difficult to get the same strap that came with the watch! Anyway, this is the one that looks closest to the original strap.....what do you think??

The issue is the colour of the stitching...it's way off but I suppose that beggars can't be choosers!

I can't vouch for the quality of any of them, but they will most likely be he closest to the one that came on the watch. I searched 'Panerai strap 26mm' and there are hundreds more on there.

Yeah, they all claim to be 'Panerai' or 'genuine Italian calf skin'! I ordered one a few weeks ago and I'd say it hadn't been within 100 kms of any bovine.

 

But, I will try one of the links you've posted. I guess they're cheap enough...and who knows, I might just strike gold.....or genuine Italian calf skin :)

Don't hold your breath for anything genuine. All I'm saying is that is the closest you'll get to the strap that came with your watch.

Of course I don't expect anything genuine! I'd just like something similar to what came with the watch.

 

Fingers crossed.
