Officine Panerai

With the latest 2011 collection yet to appear in boutiques or AD, I have been giving some of my pams a new look. That is changing over to either OEM or original strap from boutique to give it a new look. Personally I prefer the Panerai 24/22 size strap so that I can use the same buckle or deployment clasp. IMO, I don't quite like the large buckle that comes with OEM strap, and they do not have the word Panerai on it. Without a large wrist size, some of the OEM strap do not look right on my wrist, so I prefer the ones from Panerai.

I have new brown strap now on my Pam026K, Pam292 & Pam219. I will post some photos soon.

May be readers can share their favorite pam + strap and let us see how it reflect on the watch.

I actually have pics from yesterday at my dealer next to a 339, I'll uplaod if your interested..?  The 339 makes the 292 look small..!! LOL.  I'm biased but I like the look of the 292 better but I like the 8 day movement of the 339.

Yours,

was Big enough and anything Bigger would look Odd.

 but that Changed after i bought the 1st 47mm Radiomir and started using the 24 and 26mm with the Straps.

 Now i have No use for the 22mm Panerai Buckle .! ( but i use other 22mms for my Pilot Watches).

 Keep one thing in  Mind: OUR TASTE CHANGE / EVOLVE All The Time.

Just * Drool *...

Not much to do but Drool.

Best regards,

Please PM me the strap name! Thanks.

It's a 5 year or so strap model, so the current straps doesn't have the same look or texture anymore since strap maker uses different batches of leather nowadays.

Thanks to all your photos with your Pam & strap, here are mine.

I take it you're not interested in gators and the like... ?

It's not that I am not interested, but for Luminor line, I think what I used are nice. I have gator strap on more dressier line like Radiomir 8 days and Radiomir base 210.

I am looking for a nice blue (OEM) color strap to see if it goes with Pam252 (with the blue dial face), may be not but will check it out one day.

I think the best thing about Panerai is that you can change the strap esily and instantly you got a new fresh look on your watch... I first started to try different aftermarket strasbourg, but at the end, IMHO the Original OEM Panerai strap are still the best fit for it.. Here are some of my favorites:

I'm always enthusiastic talking aout strap... Hope it helps Cheers, Sam

I love to change straps, gives me a new look to wearing a different straps.
