Help me choose shoes for Pam253

Recommended Posts

Nikosaldente

Hey gang!

 

A few minutes ago, I got this beautiful Pam 253 i H-factory from Dorian84 M2M!

 

I had quite a few straps and since he was keeping the rubber one with the deployment, we agreed to send only the head!

 

It's a stunning looking watch and Dorian kept it in a good shape....only 3 months old from Toro!

 

Anyway, I'll give a proper feedback-thank you at M2M feedback section!

 

As the title says, I have some straps and I would like your opinions on which one should be best for this watch!

 

I won't tell you my preference, so you won't be biased!

On with the photos then:

 

1) Black Panerai rubber with deployment buckle:

2) Dark Blue Suede with buckle:

3) Blue Panerai rubber with buckle:

4) Camel suede with buckle:

Which one will it be?

 

Cheers!

Out of the selection you have posted, I would go with the black rubber.

Blue Suede is my favourite really dresses the watch up compared to either of the other options.

 

Then switch to rubber if you want a sporty look.

 

Best thing about pams is the quick release bars so you can change a strap in 30 seconds

that's an stunning piece mate , the Dark Blue Suede will make it looks so nice , that would be my election on your straps.

 

the first I installed in mine was a carbon fiber strap that match with the dial and it looks very nice too .

and this is the one I choose long time ago and to keep ,I wear it rare .

Between those choices the black rubber for me, but I like N.Rico's blue gator, otherwise ask JohnG or another one of our talented strapmakers for something custom with a nice matching blue thread - the blue features of the watch deserve to be highlighted.

That's exactly what I'm after....a strap to highlight the blue feature of the watch!

I got the camel suede idea from a gen's sales thread:

I regrettably sold my PAM a few months back to find something else. I didn't get a chance to buy any new straps, but I found the rubber deploy clasp awkward to do up, and quite uncomfortable to wear.

 

I purchased a brown belt, and 2 new pairs of brown leather shoes to buy a strap to go with it, but didn't. I do miss the Pam now :-/

Will rotate all of them at given times!

 

Actually the 253 has screw pins and not quick release but still It's pretty easy to change straps with the help of a screwdriver!

Sorry to hear it, pal!

 

I'm sure that you'll find a new Pam to replaced your old one!

 

Keep your eyes peeled at M2M section or at our TDs stores, and you'll be fine!

Actually the newer versions do have the quick release pins. Mines relatively new and has them.

You need Orloff to make you a navy blue nubuck alligator with matching stitching.

Hey McGee,

 

How's that crazy horse feeling?

 

I have talked to Jonathan about it!

 

Do you have any extra photos?

 

Cheers!

Thank's Haltec!

 

Indeed it is the 616 strap, but at 24mm!

 

I got it from ebay: Item No. 282023791452

 

He is a great seller with lots of straps!

 

That's where I got the suede ones posted in this thread!

 

Cheers!

It's one of the 2 best straps I have. Both from Jonathan. It's more than comfortable. No other pics right now.

I wouldn't hesitate getting this one again. I'll be ordering another from him for my Portugese.

 

It fits the 253 perfectly. :thumbsup:
