As a Panerai I was, and still am, straps were always important, for me.
I even think that Panerai gave me the strap culture.
So, each time I fall on a nice strap, I have to have it.
No wonder why I own approximatively 200 straps...
As for the watch, it is in my top five favourite, certainly the Vintage Rolex I wear the most, since I have it ( 8 months ).
Thanks for your nice words, Hermano.
Un abrazo.
Nicolas.
