Officine Panerai

Beautiful. And if I may say...

 

Hello chiewata. Incredibly beautiful straps. Thanks for posting and sharing these. My name is Mike and I am new here and I know I have lots to learn, but I still couldn't help myself from commenting on how genuinely inspiring your photos (and, frankly speaking, so many others on this site) are to me. The heart and story behind each of so many of the posts I've read has been wonderful to see. I've been a reader here for only a week but I have been uncontrollably combing through so much of the OP forum and gallery here for the past several days. The unusual part of my growing addiction to Panerai isn't that it started with my affection for thick vintage straps and the beauty of PAM 172----It's that I don't even actually own a PAM yet. lol ... I hope that that will change soon. Anyway, many thanks to you chiewata for helping me along and nice to "meet" you.

...where no souls can escape its pull. Kidding, of course. Um, actually, no, I'm not. From my personal experience, all I can say is, Panerai offers you more than mere timepieces. You know what they say - history on your wrist. Mike, I wish you a wonderful...

Wow and its amazing to know that you hand-made them yourselves! Very artistic, and original! It sure got this very vintage look and i'm sure feel to it as well! Keep up the good work! Cheers Stephen

Those straps are absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful work, most impressive.
