Guys i have a PAM 111 and as you know it comes with a leather strap. But i have always fancied the 2 tone brushed and polished steel strap does anyone no can you fit a metal strap to one of these and if so does anyone have any pics of how it would look on a 111 or a similar model.

I had an AD try to sell me one once. They were around $1,400. Not sure if it would fit. I would be concerned about scratching the polished case between the lugs - if I ever wanted to go back to a strap. I am betting I would eventually want to keep the 111 on strap.

I know at one time you had to buy micro adapters to make them fit, not sure anymore with the new bracelets. And Speed is correct, you tend to get some pretty good scratches on them. But def wear what makes you smile M8.

Seems like it would be a hassle with the polished case. Get a few nice straps and youll be good to go.

Coming with a leather strap is more Panerai style...
I think you must be regret if with spend a lot of money on the steel brace!

Save the money for more fancy straps...

I had the same thoughts, so I purchased a copy on ebay to see what it would look like, I have never used it but here are some pics, hope this helps.

Carrik how come you have not used it yet? would love a review on what you think of the bracelet,cost as well,it looks good in those pics.

Hi Snog,
I have never used it as I prefer the leather straps on the 111, I have 2 other watches with SS straps so I like the change when I where the PAM, I bought it because it was not that expensive it cost about £35.00. I do agree I think it looks good and is not a light weight peice of rubbish, it is also quite comfortable on the wrist (but I dont know if it would wear the same for a day, but dont see why not). They are also easy to resize using your PAM screwdriver. If you like the look these are alays available, and you will see from the feedback a lot of PAM owners have give them a go with posotive feedback. Cheers
