I always wanted a steel braclet for my Pam but I was not going to pay $3000+ only on a steel bracelet. So one day surfing the web I bought this aftermarket steel bracelet that fit perfectly for my Pam.

I presonally think it looks great. Now what do you guys think.

Tommysol · 13 June 2010, 03:39 AM

I do not like the look. The bracelet overtakes the look of the watch. I was more focused on the bracelet than the watch.

I am glad you are happy with the look...isn't that all that matters?

Autobot · 13 June 2010, 04:01 AM

Actually I kind of agree but on the other hand I like the way it looks and seems to fit flush. I wonder if it would look different with a less busy dialed PAM?

Speed · 13 June 2010, 04:15 AM

I think it matches up / fits well JT. Quality looks good...

Kind of blingy for my tastes (reminds me of Breitling bracelets), but if you're happy with it then nothing else matters! Enjoy!!

sleddog · 14 June 2010, 02:00 PM

I like it!!! Matches up well with the case...How does it feel and is the quality good??

Thanks sleddog.

The bracelet is pretty heavy and definetly feels good on the wrist. For a $175price point the quality is very good. It fit very well on the lugs. I'm just a little afraid to open it, I hope that there will not be too many scratches on the watch itself. I think that it will have minor scratches on it but nothing major. I will update all of you again when I take the bracelet out in a few days.

Great....Keep us updated!!

i like it, where did you get it? i want one!!

dotcomakazee · 14 June 2010, 02:40 PM

Just my opinion, but NO GOOD. Aftermarket steel bracelets are not acceptable. However, aftermarket leather ones are for some reason VERY acceptable.

sorry...I am not feeling it...
but congrats..but it does compliment the 88 dial...

Nahligah · 14 June 2010, 08:41 PM

Nope, not even close....

paverman · 15 June 2010, 01:05 PM

While I'm not crazy about the look, the fit seems very good. While many seem to really favor the thick straps, I prefer thinner straps on my Pams than the OEM's. They are much more comfortable to me. I just got a custum gator strap from Deluca that is just a couple mm thick, much the same as an OEM strap for a deployant buckle. I guess that's why this thick braclet doesn't sing to me. But hey, it's your watch and if it sings to you, that's all that matters.
Enjoy and wear in good health.

Timber Loftis · 16 June 2010, 04:54 AM

The fit seems good, but the look is pretty overwhelming imo. A bit too much.

B. Doggy · 16 June 2010, 11:50 AM

A cross between a Breitling and Jubilee....

Andad · 16 June 2010, 01:13 PM

Now that IS a bracelet.

Looks good IMO.

AGKNYC · 19 May 2014, 04:21 AM

Hello All!

I hope all is well.

does anyone has pictures of how the PAM 188 looks with a steel bracelet?

Also, can someone suggest the best place to buy a new, original, Panerai steel bracelet?

Thank you in advance!!!

Andrew

ejvette · 19 May 2014, 04:43 AM

The whole allure of the PAM for me is the leather but that's me I even take the bracelets off all my Rolex watches.

Thatguy · 19 May 2014, 05:48 AM

I like it. Be nice to mix it up sometimes.

Best place to buy a steel bracelet is at the AD. You might get more responses in the future if you start your own thread vs resurrecting a 4yo one.
