here's a wrist shot on my 233. It's very nice looking and comfortable, but I agree with somebody above on this thread who said it does not age as well as others.

Whoa. That looks SWEET.

But $420 (before tax)

Does the strap come with a tub of K-Y?

Ha-ha

I get it!!!!!

That is a nice looking strap, but the price is too much. I was waiting to buy a black oem alligator strap with white stitching. I hope this is not indicative of a price hike.

Speed · 8 July 2011, 02:07 PM

I think the standard OEM Gators are still $320 Aaron.

Hey Bill
Is that OEM gator with white stitches the same as the one that comes with the PAM 312.

If it is then I'll keep mine (was contemplating selling mine)

Awesome strap

Just saw one from paneristi.com a few days ago for $500.00 benjamins!!!!

Not for me!
I'll wait for a used one for a lower price

Yes. The 312 comes with the black gator / white stitch.

thank god i live in Australia and have been advised the JV doesnt patina well here, so scratched off the JV as a must have.

that said an OEM gold cashere is stunning and patinas awesome here

Abp has made 3 straps for me. Their product is amazing. My fave is the elephant skin strap they made me. Also, dirk straps are excellent. They used to make straps for panerai back in the pre v days. But dirk straps are pricey today. In the 350+ range
