The Search for my PERFECT strap
Well since my wifey got her Sub LV....
The Pam112 is starting to get some wrist time on my weekends(Pam is not an option on weekdays as it needs to fit inside my suit) and I am beginning to fall in love into it. Bought the 112 last Feb 2011 and wifey has been wearing it occasionally with some fancy purple and light brown straps. Worn it a couple of times and I am not sold with the straps that we have.... BTW, haven't use both the OEM straps. Do they wear comfortably? When I say perfect... I mean something that is super soft,comfortable and the vintage feel. Can TRF Risti's here recommend some straps brands/makers (that they have personally tried) who makes not just pretty straps but most importantly.... SOFT and COMFY STRAPS Now the search is ON for my perfect and comfortable strap. original sets when we bought it.. Wifey's favorite purple strap The freebie strap that I got from the shop when we negotiated for good 15mins before we finally pull the trigger on this 112 It is actually growing on me the more I wore it... Is this normal ? Do you think this is the perfect length or should be a li'l longer ? Please advice and Thanks

For soft and comfy I reccomend the Metta strap from Vintager straps and the Lambskin straps from Ray straps.
