a new strap can make you fall in love with your PAM all over again.

Haven't posted much lately, but wanted to share this new strap. It's a Simona Bruno Allegrini Mark II in 160/90 with torched buckle. I've had the itch for a strap with some tail lately and this scratched it for me just right.

A few quick iPhone shots.

Damn, big and thick! What is that thing 6mm thick?

I'd say you need some more tail! It isn't touching the lugs yet! Looks good J.

Also, I hear you big time on the straps. I have another one on order!!!!

mfer · 12 April 2011, 04:17 AM

Also, the evil zero looks like it has some patina to it. You didn't bake it did you? I'm guessing it is just the light. Either way, it is hot.

esm · 12 April 2011, 04:30 AM

nice one - i likey.

is that a 360 or a blackened 000?

I think your right Mik, 170/110 next.

This is the softest strap I've come across yet, very comfy. Did you get your Kev Ammo yet?

Actually, it's been in hibernation lately. Must be the lighting.

Thanks esm. It's a Zero I had blackened a few years ago.

Kev is on order and it is a long one for me! I'm going on Kev's recommendations.

Well, the lighting makes it look awesome and the strap adds to it. I saw a guy on another forum put his 000 dial and hands in the oven and baked it. It definately patinaed the luminova. Not sure the long term effects.

very nice strap!!!!

SubKing · 12 April 2011, 06:41 AM

amazing strap! looks excellent

dddrees · 12 April 2011, 08:18 AM

Looks great. Can't wait to get my Zero, should be here tommorrow.

As far as the straps go, new for me as this will be my first Pam. At least I have 4 to start with. The ones that come with it, the Croc the AD threw in, and the OEM buckle Calf gold Montecarlo I ordered.

heart82 · 12 April 2011, 09:38 AM

Very nice straps! I like the natural color stitch contrasts with the strap and even more when you strap it up with PVD~~~It's just perfectly classic.

JF23 · 12 April 2011, 09:43 AM

Thanks for the comments guys.

Dan, your gonna love it. Aftermarket straps are a fun way to change PAMs up, enjoy it!

heart82 · 12 April 2011, 09:51 AM

You make my pan looks like it has no straps...Oh it's really has no straps!

B. Doggy · 12 April 2011, 10:16 AM

Holy Sh*t, captain! That's one thick hunk of leather!! Looks great..

leeye · 12 April 2011, 11:20 AM

have u tried the new X-1 strap? i've compared both and the X-1 is slightly softer as compared to the MkII. both are great straps.

Almost makes the Zero feel small...

I've only seen the X-1 in pics, wasn't available in the length I wanted and I wasn't sure if the blackened edges would be too much with the PVD. Do you have a pic of one mounted on a black PAM?

leeye · 12 April 2011, 11:46 AM

yes i have a pic of the X-1 strap on a dlc case. i also got a unwashed X-1 strap which feels great too. both have different characters.

JF23 · 12 April 2011, 11:53 AM

Looks fantastic Lee, the edges aren't as blackened as I imagined they would be. Really a great combination. Thanks for the pics.

leeye · 12 April 2011, 11:59 AM

yes i was quite happy how it turned out. the washed X-1 strap gave it a worn and rugged look. the blackened buckle also matches well with a pvd or dlc case.

your Mk II strap does look much thicker!

nauticajoe · 12 April 2011, 12:00 PM

That's a beautiful combo! Well done.

MortgageGuy · 12 April 2011, 01:27 PM

Looks great, I love the thickness
