Hi guys,

I would be getting my Pam this weekend (Yay!). As my wrist is rather small.. 6", I would like to customize a strap.

Are there any physical strap shops whereby I can go down to the shop to feel the materials and for them to take a measurement of my wrist?

Thanks!

Errr
Customization wise JNS is the only one i know
Overseas ones are like gunnystraps
Other local ones like 20straps or strap66 but i dunno if they customize.

Congrats! And strap god pls take over!

I just got one from strap66 and 20straps...only the former does customization...

JNS is pricey but judging from their work & reputation, could well be good value for money...

(I'm not strap god, juz sharing my humble opinion)

Can check out Daluca straps too? They're pretty famous too. If you have instagram, there's plenty out there waiting for you to unearth.

means they can arrange to get one for you - the thing is that due to forex fluctuations the price is not fixed......I remember I read this somewhere on their website

but they do have a preowned lah.....

With all the skeletons that's being posted, I can't help but think of this beauty. At $70,500, beauty comes at a steep price

yeah their stock goes pretty quick.....

JackRoad 

according to this, you have to pay a 10% non refundable deposit if you wanna order something - but from websites of other similar shops they did mention the price is subjected to forex fluctuations. you gotta talk with them and see how long it takes for the watch to arrive, etc

check out the other shops and monitor their stocks; maybe they have what you want.....

Thanks for posting the photos! it comes in a black strap now.

I generally like white faced watches, this model also as the movement in thinner in diameter.

I recently tried the 499 with an automatic movement and was quite surprised at how bulky and heavy it was. I have a 7" wrist and still found it bulky. The SA told me that's how PAM wears and I have to get used to it hahaha

Good choice........................:s12:

Nice! Did you pre order it? Tried the smaller 392?

How much discount does THG offer? Cortina only offers 5%

Morning folks!

good morning yatto dai kor...

just a thought after I closely examining your nautilus that day at the watch meet, and went back to relook at the photos taken...
I felt that PP didn't do a lot of justice on the finer details given the price tag, such as the moonphrase, the markers, the surface and texture of the dial face.

i hope that if PP is going to release a new version of the nautilus, they will focus more on these areas.

but I'm not sure if you felt this way too... :o
