Bro Alvin,

Finally you received your 74. Congratulation on your new strap.
The 368 is the sleeper in the 2011 line up. A great looking piece.
I can only affort for the 74 expected in Dec.
PAM372 will be my target

Congrats on the PAM00368. Wear ti with good health. Interesting '74' strap. Quite a number of strap makers have this in their product offering.

Congrats ;)

This strap is made by the strapmaker in Indonesia right? Not sure why "74" but that's the same style of strap used by panerai long time ago during the WW2 i guess... I bought one the same too long time back, very soft leather ;)

that is a nice "74" strap, mind to share what is the "74" meaning?  ;D since 74 is my year of birth, would like to "bb" more about it.  :Cheers:

Nice pam you got there. Just out of curiosity, what does the 74 signifies? based on the replies above - it is a unique watch strap? (I recently only started picking up interest in Panerai rare models - e.g. 237 "Ghost")

hope to know more about it.

74 just the number found marking on the vintage pam strap... so happened that it was pictured in Pam catalogue, so this gunny strap with 74 at one end is homage strap!!!

Yeah more and more people are making vintage straps. Got a few and getting more. New sickness I think, also cheaper.
