    does it matter to you that the strap is once 'coated' with someone else's sweat?

    or is it you buy because it is seasoned and the strap is softer?

    sorry to hijack, but i would like to know TS preference.
    As long as strap is 95% - 98% I don't really mind. That probably means the strap is rarely worn. I doubt too many people wear their Pam to do sport... I also cleaned the back with leather cleaner, then apply mink oil (which seals the leather), before wearing.

    But sometimes I see beat-up-to-hell-and-back cracked & stained strap offered for sale -- and sold for $150!!! just because it's BigB... I also shake my head...

    So I recently bought a BigB ammo (new) to see what the fuss is all about... and still shaking my head...

          Bro Oceanklassik, if u want to touch and feel those straps before buying, maybe can try watchlink @ far east plaza or visiotime @ republic plaza ??? They have tedsu, JnS and greg stevens as well. Just got these greg stevens from watchlink yesterday, new shoes for e ladies, GSS

              Beautiful watches and straps ! And tx for the info. Btw, any diff if I were to buy frm our local stores carrying these straps, esp in pricing? Because these brands are available to purchase online too.

              Tx again.

                straps are basically the same.

                what i suggest you to do is calculate the cost to get them shipped to sg. then see how much these shops are selling.

                ask for discounted prices if possible. if order 1 or 2, chances of discount is minimum or none. ask how many pieces u need to order to get discount, then check around who might want to tag order. this way, can save abit

                  think you can get a better deal with e online store since e local stores need some profit as well ? watch for e sale threads, sometimes there are good deals too.
