Show me some cool straps...

I am REALLY having a hard time taking this off the Panerai...



...show me something that might change my mind.

You need some Gator on that Panny

Panny, you can get into some big bucks with alot of guys who make straps for panny's, they figure if the can buy the watch they wont look at anything under 150 bones! For my money (and i dig thick leather straps) you cant be ridinfool at wus (BJstraps) 25 bones, 35 with a buckle and i really push the spartan over the pre-v but thats my thing!!

















Brian will make any size or length, you pick the leather, stitching style and color and bam there at your house in a couple days made to your specs!!! Just love them!!!

Really cool straps cali - Link Please.

Go over to WUS and in the straps for sale forum you will find a listing by a guy named ridinfool, he updates daily and from that thread you can see more of his stuff on photobucket! Company is BJstraps but nobody can find him that way so just look for is handle on wus Ridinfool! I've had many straps over the years and for the coin spent these have been the best! i have him make mine a little longer and go with 135mmX85mm and the black straps are 5mm thick and the brown is4.5mm!

Cool Thanks.

The Gator above was made by Aaron Tan.
Famous for excellent custom work BUT Notorious for not meeting delivery expectations.
Said 4 weeks actually 6 months

Alan..Check this site out from Toshi straps ! I remember Mark (Andrema)
talking about these guys a while back. They seem to have a ton of styles
and they show alot of the straps with Panerais too !..There are also many
different colors of stitching to choose from...I hope this helps !

Hmmm...that burgundy looks pretty cool!

Ok, looks like Alan is going this direction....

Anyone ever seen a LEATHER with PANERAI branded into it like the rubber strap ala B&R?

Check out this guys stuff...pricey but friggin' amazing!

Not trying to be ...well....given Panerai's penchant for suing everyone about everything, I would seriously doubt that there is a Panerai imprinted strap out there that comes from anyone other than Panerai itself.

just ordered this oem strap from Panerai last week, should be here in a couple weeks.

great looking straps Trevor and Jeffrey!

I have no idea who owns this picture

VERY NICE RUBBER RON!

You are right Alan, it does look good !..What is neat about Toshi, is that
you can order from the normal variety of straps, but also evidently have them
customize a strap any way you like with the use of different color threads !
I unfortunately haven't seen any leather straps with Panerai branded into
them yet though !..Chris that Delaurian site is out of this world cool by
the way ! I haven't seen straps like that before !

Gator





Hornback Croco



custom leather by Paolo ...
