26mm Ammo Squeeeeeze

Thought I'd try squeezing in a 26mm Justin Chen Ammo between my 111's 24mm lugs.

I really like the wider "beefier" look, but I think I might trim the edges a bit for a better fit.

What do you guys think of the overall look? or

I'm a fan m8! On my historics I only wear 26mm straps pinched in. Here is an old pic of my 1A on a 26MM Kevin AMMO.

I would not have thought of that. I like the strap alot! Maybe over time the Squeeze will work a bit better.

So, I ordered a few straps recently... Vintagerstraps and Greg Stevens. I am excited to get them. Do you guys like to have the hole side a little longer than PAM OEM?

I went a little longer than PAM OEM - Hoping it was a good call.

Thanks Daren I've been eyeing a few Kevin/BigB Ammo's on the other site. Looks top notch.

Your gonna love those straps Jackson! I like tail (hole side) a little longer on my casual straps, and keep it to a minimum on my dressier ones.

I removed the tubes and the pinched ends look better, just have to make sure the lug screws don't walk out or come loose.

Looks good I think. I think it would be perfect if you could just shave the lugs ever so slightly. I think Bruce/Kevin sells straps like this. An unusual combo 25/26 to the full buckle.

Looks great... Thanks for info on the length - hole side! That's what I was thinking - casual - long / dressier - short!

Yes, that is legit. Looks great. I think it adds to the vintage - militare look. I will post some pics of mine when they get here....

I won a 2008 PAM catalog for .99 on Ebay. Won a 2007 catalog with a larger Manifattura Collection Catalog on Ebay for $1.50. I love looking at them!
