Officine Panerai

A good friend made this special strap for me. It is made from vintage Swiss ammo pouches. On the inside he punched the Chinese sigh for "Power" due to my recent cardinal operation.

Very sweet thought, very cool look. Fitted on my PAM195

Alas te PAM 195 is not with the reach of 99.99% of the Panerai fans but it always brings a smile to know that most  of those who got the watch deseved it.  Yourself, Anthony,Jester and I think Larry below just on this thread alone represent a lot about what it is to be part of the community.

Anthony should run a 195 thread so we can see some of the Panerai ambassadors we all love to to hate and love to admire.

Nice strap too...

See you all around. 

Keep the Panerai Faith. (boy that sounds corny)

Saw your post over at Paneristi that your heart operation went well, so keep up the faith and keep on ticking!

Cheers,
Anthony

Despite other watches one may wear, it's only a Panerai that's instantly recognizable in a watch store, where I'm usually greeting with a "Nice Panerai, sir."

Looking good. 

Between the "Cali" and the "Fiddy"  I would say you are looking pretty or maybe I should use giddy.

Either way nice selection for any collection.

The blue ridge back strap is no slouch either.

Sweet...

No message body

He's 4 months old as of yesterday and just sooo much personality already!

Never knew it would be like this and it's the best thing ever!

How bout you bro?  How's the family?  I know always loved your pix holding hands w/ your son!

 

ciao,

Bob

Just had another kid almost a 1.5 months ago so my hands are full.  Having 2 kids is definitely much more different now than having 1!

1st one was jealous and acting strange for the first few days but all back to normal.  Even said she was "scared" which is normal I guess.

Cheers,
Anthony

Luv that Cali!

Looks really thick and bad.  Has it been worn at all or it's really that stiff?

The strap was a bit stiff at the start, but really not bad... it' wears very comfortably and I actually wore it today...

The blue really works well w/ the hands.... wanted it to look like the AP straps..... Just LOVE it!!

Thanks,
