Thanks

 

Hi Alex. Thanks for the suggestions. Yeah I did mean watch straps aye.

Yes, the JV Panerai strap does look amazing and sure will age amazingly.

The first thing I did was order another NATO (Khaki) from the Tokyo boutique and sailcloth strap which they actually ended up throwing in for me.

I'll look around and share more photos soon.

Yes I will post more as the situation arises. Been thinking about getting new threads. Any recommendations?

New threads, as in a different strap option, or forum threads?

If its strap choices, I would suggest a black or grey nubuck strap in either buffalo, or maybe even crocodile. Do you remember the Jules Verne type of straps Panerai makes? I think those would look really cool when paired to your ceramic Bathyscaphe. Oliv...
