Mail Call. New shoes...

[mfer]

Apologize for the pics and the lighting. The person that was "helping" me is not very patient for all these pics.

Well, I got a package today. Pretty excited. I recently cleaned out my strap drawer to only the ones I wear. Better get another into the drawer (or box in my case)...



So.....which watch will get it? Will it be a 24....a 25.....a 26.....



Yup.......the watch set to the nice picture taking time....26! ;-)



Let's put it on right away. Getting pretty good at the Rad changes now.





I then tried to put it on? WTH...........it doesn't fit. MAN!



Ok, so I really didn't want it..."oh wifey......"



Nice amount of tail for her!













Way underexposed, but it looks good on her 6" wrist!



Thanks to the maker of the strap. You made a new Risti very happy. She's pretty excited.



One more LV to throw in the pile! :-)



Thanks for looking guys and again, thanks to the maker of the above strap.

Hey just tell her that the 'Pervy Sage' says another Pam is good for the relationship! Besides you have plenty of 'shoes' for another one anyways!

[TRW]

Excellent Mik.Wow,to have such a beautiful Wife(She looks Very Happy)and be able to have some Pretty Nice Stuff Awesome.Good for You,Congratulations

Hi mfer...

Looks like your wife has some sort of love affair with all things Louis Vuitton! Congrats. BTW... is that genuine LV leather that the strap is made out of?

[B. Doggy]

Sweetness!

I'm headed to Vegas in a few weeks and we all know what's on the agenda. I kept telling myself that there might be a watch purchase, despite the terrible location to do such a thing. Then I realized that I should probably imbibe in a nice brown croco from the local PAM shops. I need a good dress strap for the 312....and maybe the BP, too

[dalip]

Looks great Mik.....bummer it didn't fit you! What size did you order ? In any case, lucky for your wife....congrats on a good looking strap.

[Speed]

Too funny Mik!!! Great pics.

This is why I only wear OEM Pam straps...too much guesswork for non Pam IMO

[karmatp]

Yikes, I can't let my wife see this post of I just might lose my 183 to her. That looks amazing, maybe I need to pick up a 210 for my wife!

Rob assures me that it is real. My wife is an LV expert and she can attest. Also, the backing of the strap appears to be the inner felt/suede of the LV purses as well. Incredible job, I'll try to post some pics later, but she's breaking it in. Best not to take it off for a bit.

120/70 26/26. Now that it is on her, I think I should have said 120/75 for her but it is very good and hard to get perfect b/c of varying thicknesses on straps. Maybe I'll get her another in a different pattern!

I was just joking about wearing it myself Bill. It was always meant for her.

Ah.....give in....then you can get you a 190 when she takes the 183 over! ;-)

Well Mik, I commend you for staying on your watch diet. I am on one myself.

I have something "incoming" in about 6 mos --- you can relate I KNOW --- which will cost me. Therefore, I have to be happy with my lot. Maybe a new strap or two...maybe.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!?!?!?

Congrats man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get your stuff now!! ;-)

Watch diets are tough. I've been looking at everything I have an wonder if I can sell it to get closer to a watch!

[ocwatching]

that's why they are known as the "better" half..j/k
glad she is loving the Rad..wife loves mine as well..
time for a new pickup...LOL

Ok, I mean NO DISRESPECT here, but what is it with Asians and labels in particular Louis Vuitton?

Don't get me wrong I like Louis Vuitton, my wife has 2 of their bags and they are obviously a very high quality brand. But just seems like every Louis Vuitton store is nearly half full with Asians...?

So...how should we get you - exactly?

What a decidedly unpleasant thing to say.
The only way to 'get you' after a statement like that is 'wrong'.
It's interesting the way people say they mean 'NO DISRESPECT' - and it's usually followed by something disrespectful.

I mean NO DISRESPECT here but what is it with idiots who just can't keep their narrow minded thoughts to themselves?

.... plus the 6 points, of course.

I am sorry to Mik and anyone I offended, I didn't think before posting something closed minded and shallow like that. I didn't mean to offend anyone but apparently I did and made myself look stupid in the process. As a memeber here for sometime with many good friends and many posts I can assure you that what I said is not in my nature. Mik and everyone else please accept my sincere apology.

Let's all just move on.

[marcinthemiddle]

Nice Post Mik! I think your pics rock, and that Pam looks awesome on the Mrs.! Is it gonna be an early x-mas pressie for her?

[R1@160@alltimes]

I am still amazed how proper the Rad looks on your wife.

[ersnyder]

Didn't even know LV made straps! Gotta keep this post from my wife or I'll be in deep water!! Looks great on her though, congratulations!!

This one I believe is an after market strap, made from real LV hand bags. Great craftsmanship, it looks just like the original OEM strap which costs almost 4 times as much.

[alljunks]

Nice... LV.......

[sleddog]

First off Mik. Beautiful straps and wife mate! She looks great with the Pam,stunning actually....I'm surprised at how well it suits her!!(nice pics also)

Second, Spencer, your apology sounds sincere and I hope you will think next time about what you say before posting in the future...This goes to all members here.
We are an international forum with people from all backgrounds. Lets leave the stereotyping at home.....We will be all better off for it!

Thanks for the compliment. I'm lucky to have her and lucky she indulges my watch problem.

Also.....don't worry about Spencer guys. He's all good.

[snog]

next time someone thinks Pams are too big they just need to take a look at those pics,she pulls it off in style.
