I've Stopped Buying Watches...

...but now I can't stop buying straps for the Pam. I got three with the watch and have managed to purchase another four, one arrives tomorrow. This is alot of fun and easy to change around. The two latest are real gems, one is a well used Dirk waterproof that has a logo buckle, the other the guy just included in the deal.

It is a Mario Paci sharkskin with a logo buckle, I know Bruce has seen these but I wanted to share with all my friends.

Check out TC straps again mate!

Under their brand, they have what they are claiming to be the most waterproof leather straps in the world...guaranteed!! I see a great test case coming up :)

There are a couple from Strap Works I want....

I like the looks of their calf straps and the vintage ones are great too. This brown croc OEM strap is the most comfortable and best looking strap I've ever worn. At $250 it should be!!

LOL!! I just talked to Elliot, my strap should be here Saturday, the Cognac one, I can't wait!!

I have to tell you though, this Dirk is unreal comfortable. It feels like tehe perfect leather jacket, just worn to the perfect feel!!

How old is it Daren?

Maybe I should just spend the buck 50 and get one of those.

The one I bought was originally purchased in 2002, I really do like the feel. I will to a review of the waterproffness (is that a word) after I get the other one.

With all those straps you will wear out the threads on the screws.

Wow Daren!

You are turning into a hardcore Paneristi! :)

Best place to get straps is on the Accessories section of Paneristi.com but it looks like you've already been pretty busy.......:)

Congrats on the 27!

Thanks Shane, I am having a blast for sure!! Thanks again for your help in my decision mate!! You are the best.

JJ, half the fun of this watch is changing them out daily! Although this Dirk has been on for a few days now and I don't plan on changing, oh wait I have another one coming today and one on Monday so all bets are off.
