XS Strap Recommendations

[jreichert7]

Looking for brand suggestions for XS straps for my PAM 683 42mm sub. I know Panerai of course sells a few but wondering if there are any other options out there? Size XS seems to be hard to come by.

There are a variety of strap makers that will do a custom size for you (there are some posts with a good selection of links). A NATO strap would also work for you needs.

XS are 65/95 mm on or about. I have one model only left. Brown gator pattern. Hand making not a problem, but simple flat styled designs

Just checked the Panerai site and 22 mm now 22/18 mm. Used to be 22 x 20 mm and they only have one leather. Other choice gator or rubber. Guessing they don't sell many in that size.

What size is your wrist?

Thanks Don! My wrist is around 14.5 - 14.75 cm. I’m particularly interested in an XS rubber strap. I’ll probably pick up black and green straps from the Panerai boutique but was hoping to find a Miami strap or something else in blue somewhere.

The same thing happens to me as you and I have it clear, apart from some of the brand that suits me the others because I order them from the artisans with the necessary measure and so I take the opportunity to personalize them

I have one strap left as many of my customers left the forums, sold the watch or already have a number of straps.

Finding a XS blue strap could be VERY difficult as no one wants to pay the costs to make a mold to sell a strap or two

You could email Panerai and ask for other colors, but that will probably go nowhere due to the limited number of XS 22 mm on the site

Straps as mentioned are now 22 x 18 mm, so what type of buckle do you have? Rubber are 22 x 20 mm, so Panerai didn't create new molds. If you have an 18 mm buckle. You will have to buy a new one in 20 mm or just buy a generic spring bar or screw design

There are plenty of great strap makers who will make you whatever you want in any size you want. I’ve bought plenty of XS straps without a problem. I’d recommend sending a Facebook message to Cordes David. Tell him Bryan Messinger sent you. He’ll work with you to make you anything you want. I’d recommend the blue painted gustav ammo that he made me. It’d work great on the 683 (which was my first PAM btw):
