2 New Straps = 2 Home Runs
Hi guys,
I recently bought a Micah Plainsman for my PAM 177 and I liked it so much that I decided to buy a Micah Brindle for my 000. Each strap seems to perfectly match the character of each watch. The Brindle has a great vintage feel to it and looks very much like an ammo. The quality of these straps is amazing (they are so soft) and I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you are stuck on OEM or having trouble deciding between all of the aftermarket strap makers...give Micah a try. I was also surprised how much a strap/buckle can change the wrist-feel of a particular watch. I have been favoring my 177 lately due to the lighter weight and greater all-day comfort, but the 24/24 Brindle (with sewn-in buckle) on the 000 has made it much more comfortable than any of the OEM straps I tried. The only "problem" I have now is trying to decide which one to wear each morning! Here are a few pics for you guys...

Nice one mate. Soft leather can make big difference to how it feels on the wrist.
