Hi guys,I recently got a pam base000,don't mind the black calf strap,got it on a Hadley Roma at the moment but would really like an alligator with white/cream stitching.
Any recommendations for aftermarket or is OEM the best option.
Cheers.

For me except the canvas one, for all kind of straps go with the oem ones ..

I bought my first aftermarket strap from Bob watch bands, also known as waccex. I bought the vertigo buffalo strap and was very pleased with. For £20 you can't can't complain of the quality. I'm not prepared to hundreds on oem straps when these will do the same job. They may wear out quicker buy I can buy like 10 for the price of 1. It's fun to have so many and change up the look.

There are loads of aftermarket straps suppliers out, Google around and see what you find. Bob watch bands/Waccex are based in Germany, I bought mine direct on eBay and the guy is amazingly helpful.

That's not to say I won't ever buy oem, but for now I'm happy with getting aftermarket ones.

Hi Stephen,

That's great to hear! I've bought a couple more since, will be posting a few pics when I get the chance. Enjoy your new strap buddy.

Casual gator? Micah.

Custom formal gator with no budget? ABP or Dangerous9.

In between the above? Simona, Hirsch or Ted Su.

Becca1 · 16 May 2016, 04:41 PM

Thanks guys

Maltie · 16 May 2016, 07:39 PM

DiStefano Firenze makes awesome straps.

supra8903 · 17 May 2016, 01:55 AM

combat straps is another good choice

Lordofrolex · 17 May 2016, 01:59 AM

De Luca Straps out of San Diego, Ted Su out of HK. Are great straps and high quality.

Vbmrk · 18 May 2016, 12:10 PM

If you don't mind spending a bit more and waiting for it. John Glance of Dangerous9 makes some of the best straps you can get for the money,

Also check out Combat Straps, he does some amazing custom ones with high quality skins.

Stebinners · 29 May 2016, 01:15 AM

Yes i am just on the site now selecting a few, for £20 great value. I was going to buy some original straps but i really cant see the different in quality, especially when i put my panerai buckle on, its as good as my £250 original strap!

I'm a fan of OEM straps, personally.

Stebinners · 29 May 2016, 01:53 AM

Any idea if i buy a deployment clasp, will it fit my straps? Or do you have to have different straps?

From what I've seen the deployment straps are different to buckle straps since they are thinner.

Billythekid · 29 May 2016, 03:49 AM

I prefer OEM straps after having tried hands at some aftermarket straps

mfer · 29 May 2016, 04:34 AM

OEM and ABP are worth the money IMHO.

The good news is you could get a Black Semi-matte OEM gator for a discount. Many people negotiate extra straps as part of the deal only just to sell them. check out paneristi.com and check out accessory corner for these types of deals.
