Welcome to the forum, Nishant, and....
congratulations for your beautiful 662. As for the Assolutamente Beige, which I like a lot and own, would it be possible for you to take another picture with less..glare..on the strap? This is because it looks a bit too light (sandy) and all the Assolutamente Beige I've seen so far (including mine) are substantially darker. I want to make sure you've got the "real thing", ok? Ciao - Sergio
Colour is life isn't it?
My first post. My beloved 662 on (imho) one of the best OEM straps ever. Thoughts?...
welcome to the forum
wonderful watch you've got...662 has a great dial... OEM straps, for Panerai - you'll see wonders outside OEM offers ! enjoy the watch in good health !! Best, mahesh.,
Thanks for the kind words. [nt]
I have! Have had this for about 2 months and already have 2 customs and 2 OEM straps. This is one of my favourites though.
Looks like your 5th post...
but definitely my favorite! Hope to see you posting more frequently, enjoy!
:D Actually first post, the other 4 were comments. [nt]
I'm more of an observer. Lots to learn. Browse everyday though.
Yes, the counter tracks all posts
"Post" being anything you comment on or start yourself. We all started as observers. I did, in late 2000, reading and learning about AP. And here it is about 17 years later!
Welcome to the Forum and congrats on your 662!!...
... it is also one of my favorite Pams. Didn´t know this OEM strap. Which is the model name? I like the dark leather original ones very much and find them very comfortable and with a very nice and warm texture as well. These ones look like made of same le...
Exactly, the OP logo shouldn't have been there!
I completely agree with you. The darker PV strap is a strap I had purchased even before I got this watch. It is phenomenal and balances the 'heavy' watches quite well. And I do agree with you completely, the OP logo really takes away a bit of the charm fr...
Thank you so much Nishant Tripathi for your kind answer and for your...
... following of my posts! Appreciate that! Glad to know we share same opinions about logo straps. I´m surprised to know your nice straps belong to the Assolutamente collection! That is because I own several Assolutamente in different colors and no one of...
Exactly! I always assumed this was a PV myself.
Since the PV that comes with the strap (dark) and this strap are virtually identical save the colour. That infact is a strap that made me fall in love with 47mm Panerai watches since it held the watch beautifully to my slim wrists. Oh well, it wouldn't be...
Thank you for your clarification my friend! You are right: It wouldn´t be Panerai...
... if it had no little confusing tips! Lol! I like your straps so much! Enjoy your new beautiful watch in good health!! Cheers! Abel,
Welcome here, Nishant... Even if you make me suffer with this watch.
It is well known that I quite like it... A bit. Best, Nicolas
Lol. Yes, just I bit.
If we now start to torture you in a duo set up you might either take more of your anti pam pills or change the forum , hehehe...

Thanks for looking out sergio.
I don't have the watch on hand today, wearing a 423. I shall click pics when I get home. Although the colour is very close (maybe just a tinge darker) to what you see in the pictures and quite a bit lighter than yours. However I am quite sure this is how ...
I only use OEM's on my watches (with 1 exception, for the 605)..
and I'm aware of the subtle hue difference that can occur, specially to suede straps. I have 3 Assolutamente classic dark brown, that are different from one another. I just never saw the "sandy" one you're sporting on the 662. If you bought it in the bout...
Sorry for the late reply, here are the pictures in 2 different lighting conditions.
Obviously the colour is much closer to your strap and much unlike the pictures I posted earlier. I always assumed myself that this was a variant of the Ponte Vechio, since other than the colour they are identical. ...
Hello dear Sergio! Please read my anwer above regarding the straps. I thought...
... that these straps as well as yours were a variant of the Ponte Vecchio line and not an Assolutamente. The Ponte Vecchio dark ones like the originals in 587 and 662 (and the clear color of yours) are flat, while the Assolutamente line lack the embossed...
When I first posted the picture of the 375 with....
the "new" PonteVecchio I was wrong (and I believe I actually retracted the statement). The presence of the "fly" on the side, brought me to think it was a new PonteVecchio model BUT Panerai calls it...Assolutamente Beige...instead. As for the "classic" As...
Hello dear Sergio!! Thank you so much for the explanation!! Now I understand...
... Intrigues me why Panerai would offer two different construction types under same name! But now I know thanks to your explanation. I like the color of yours very much and also like the "flat" type (as the world before Galileo! Lol!! ) very much. Will t...
Welcome to the forum
and congratulations for the imo great Pam. I own it as well and u have a similiar story regarding the strap. In the boutique I didn't like very much the original dark brown one but falling in love with the beige one. They were so kind to give me the beige...
