 I got this Vintage Tan Croc from Jeanna for my PAM 305 and it's really a stunner. I asked Jeanna to make it look older than its natural age and she suggested to oil it down thus the patina of age. She mailed it to Auckland but I wasn't around to take delivery of it and waited about 4 weeks for the strap to get to me in Asia. My son is spending some R&R with me in Asia in between Uni terms. My wait is over. Here are some pix.





Since the PAM 305 is a big watch at 47mm across, I also asked her to make the stitches fatter and thicker. Jeanna suggested to also oil down the stitches to add some more age to it overall. Here is the final product.



Check out a close-up of the detailing that went into the strap. I am very pleased with the final result and I think the Vintage Tan look will go well with the predominant gun metal gray of the PAM 305's titanium case.



Hope you like it (William/Watchdaddy1.....this is the strap I told you about 3 weeks ago. It's very similar to yours and what you posted recently but I added some age to it). By the way, the strap is 4.5mm thick and padded at the lug end and is 26mm across to match the PAM 305's lugs. Then the strap tapers down to 22mm at the buckle end and just about 3mm thick at the tail.
