Hi everybody,

I am looking for some replacement straps. And I saw lots of straps online, and I don’t know whether they are good or not. I am wondering whether your guys can recommend some straps maker and some type strap to me.

Thanks.

adamli629 · 17 January 2010, 09:24 AM

By the way, I want use the new straps on my PAM111.

B. Doggy · 17 January 2010, 09:32 AM

Hellz yeah!! Check out the AMMO's by Kevin. You'll pay a little extra for them, but they can't be beat IMHO. Here's the website:

www.watches24seven.com

Enjoy the search!

mfer · 17 January 2010, 09:49 AM

Kev straps are awesome.

For a bit less money.
Rob Montana gives you custom for a bit less.

If you like gators...
APB in France.

Those are the best of the bunch IMHO.

nc42acc · 17 January 2010, 09:54 AM

I have about 8 from Heroic18. Great quality and price, I have been happy with all I have received.

www.heroic18.com

Psmith · 17 January 2010, 10:27 AM

All of the above...

Heroic 18, Toshi, Greg Stevens...

Cheers

PamFan113 · 17 January 2010, 11:08 AM

go to the accessories corner on paneristi.com tons of straps from just about everyone you can imagine.. they also have a straps section for more reference

cars4life · 17 January 2010, 11:21 AM

H18. Great service, quality at a great price.

jcatral14 · 17 January 2010, 11:23 AM

I've only gotten straps from Panatime. You can't beat them for the price but there are some others I would like to try. Kaktus, Ted Su and The Strap Smith seem very good

check out this seller - antique_leatherstraps, 2 weeks ago I bought couple from him, couple other TRF memebrs bought from him too; great stuff, straps I received are exactly like he shows on those pictures. IMHO his strap is better than panatime. http://shop.ebay.com/antique_leather...&_trksid=p4340.

I got my first one a few weeks back and as soon as I put it on my 111 it gained a new life.
They are great straps and the buckles are cool too!

CorruptedSanity · 17 January 2010, 01:15 PM

I love crocodile straps and tend to get mine from Panarai (OEM).

stevenrobinson · 17 January 2010, 02:03 PM

BigB Ammo from watches247 are a work of art and worth the premium, for a quality UK makers check out toshi straps

I was at his place a couple of weeks ago Ziad and I bought about 15 straps from him. Great guy and great straps and great price the workmanship is excellent and the straps (leather) available is awesome.

Can not fault his work great value for money.

A1000 · 17 January 2010, 07:52 PM

There are many great strap makers out there I have dealt with H18, Da Luca and Kaktus and all have been great. I guess what you need to do is work out what style you are looking for and then spend an afternoon surfing. With the three strap makers I have dealt with the thing that I like is that you can talk to the maker of the straps which is just great for understanding the style, make and tweaks. Good luck and look forward to the photos!

Nica64 · 18 January 2010, 02:06 AM

Julien Landa makes nice straps and great service.

Zeugma, Ted Su and Rob Montana are a few of my favs.

Shade · 18 January 2010, 02:08 AM

I recommend Ted Su and Gunnytstraps..

BealeAss · 18 January 2010, 02:22 AM

Gorilla Straps. Handmade and custom made for 1/3 of the euro guys. Exceptional quality.

adamli629 · 18 January 2010, 04:28 AM

Thanks guys.

I think I may choose some straps from Kevin, Ted Su, Gunnytstraps, and Heroic 18.

dukerules · 18 January 2010, 07:31 AM

I also recommend Greg Stevens.

jm434 · 8 April 2010, 06:07 PM

heard kevin has the largest variety and best prices?

nowatch · 9 April 2010, 04:36 AM

HERU, the Gunny straps is the Caitlin 1 Series the thick one you have on your california/rad?

I am really digging the thicker straps, is it soft to wear? what specs would be needed for a 44mm 1950 case? i got a 6.5ish inch wrist
7mm seems so beefy and brings a good presence to the 1950 ( in my imagination atleast)

You need 24mm width for that case. As for length, go 125/75 for thick straps. 120/80 if you like the buckle to ride up to avoid rubbing on desks and laptops.

TswaneNguni · 9 April 2010, 01:42 PM

Kevin Ammos
Julien Landa
Simona
Zeugma
Jason and Sharon
Greg Stevens
OEM Gators

Something I havent tried yet .... Ant Ammos.Looks nice !!

I must visit him again when in Thailand you should see some of the leathers that he uses (sad, but they smell great) most comes in a container from Switzerland old leather school bags. The price can not be beaten if only he made buckles.

For price and quality of work, leather I would say he cannot be beaten.
