What a great way to start Jimmy! You will love the versatility on the beach or at a dinner party. With a strap change, the complexion completely changes!

Enjoy in good health!

Best,

Fred

As for straps there are tons of strap makers out there. I'll tag you on a couple of guys that I follow on IG.

Congratulations. Welcome to the club. I see you made two great choices, the 111 and DavidSW.

Hey Sam, check out this thread for some great shots of some fine looking Pams.
It might change what you buy next.
Cheers!

Congrats on the acquisition. One Seoul Man to another.

My strap collection consists mainly of OEMs. JV and Assolutamente are fantastic straps that I use most of the time. I also have black calf, tunnel and gator. Still on the lookout for the black gator with white stitching.

I have yet to try much in terms of aftermarket but Greg Stevens Design, Ted Su, Mario Paci come to mind. There are so many others.

Welcome and I look forward to seeing what you get from AP.
