I have the exact combo on the way got the shipping confirmation this AM. Newbie here; did this band come with the tubes? Or do I reuse my original PAM ones or what?

Comes with tubes although I have found them to be very slightly longer than the OEM ones and a bit of a squeeze to fit but fine once installed. Look forward to the pics.

It's not great under a single cuff although I did wear it on Xmas day with a double button single cuff with only one button done up and it just poked out nicely, although it felt a bit uncomfortable.

It works ok with a double cuff with cuff links athough the buckle and strap are a bit big for a formal look so I tend to wear it on an OEM strap in those circumstances.

Lovely straps guys.

Adrian, its a very nice sober dark brown. Is the buckle sewn in or can you install the OEM buckle?

Saif, it's a screw in buckle, however, as the strap is 24/24 and the OEM is 24/22 you can't interchange the buckles. I like where possible to get screw in buckles so that I can interchange the buckles and the straps. The H18 buckle is quite large and thick but works well with the strap.

Yes the heroic buckle looks great with this strap.

Must look great in natural light huh.

It does indeed. I contrasts well with the strap and is quite an impossing buckle but it balances well with the size of the PAM.
