Actually it cam in a BIG BAG so it can't be just a strap.

Oh that's right it came with a deployant clasp. Maybe that's why it came in such a BIG BAG?

I don't know though even as the boxes get smaller seems as though the BOX is a BIT BIG for a Deployant Clasp?

Here are a couple wrist PICs of my new Pam 00088. This is the first Pam I fell for. I was side tracked by the Pam 000 but I saw it again and I just had to have it.

Thanks Rob, maybe you will get one soon as well. It really was the first Pam that sang to me.

Thank you. Real well Mik, but then again I haven't had any problems with any of my Deployant Clasps. I have them on both of my JLC's and my IWC. The only leather strap watch I don't have it on is my Pam 000, although it has been on order for over 2 months now. I think wrist size has something to do with it, mine are 7 1/4.

Thanks, but its not my fault. John (johnbeth) made me promise to do a proper striptease. I'm just following orders.
