?
Do any of you folks wear a Nato on your Panerai? Curious as to how they would look and feel.

So glad you asked. I didn’t want to. I like the idea of canvas for the Summer, but the OEM version is still leather-backed!!

Rubber for me in the summer. NATOs seem a bit too thin for Panerai?

OEM rubber straps are available in standard, extra short and extra long lengths. If none of those work, maybe Hirsch or Ted Su? I'm not a big RubberB or Everest fan for Panerai, as I prefer not to fill the lug gap. |

I did when I had my 312. It can be a bit top heavy. Since my wrist is pretty flat, I didn't have a problem. |

Well I picked up a nato and it sits good on the wrist. Something a lil different then the leathers I have. Wish I could find a rubber for my fat wrist

It's a nice option, but I think it will work best with lightweight Pams. For heavier pieces canvas straps are the best solution imho and my favourite canvas straps are from our buddy here www.mays-berlin.com
I've tested a lot of different canvas straps but these one are my absolute favourites...

I don't think that Panerais look all that great on NATOs. There just isn't enough heft to the strap in most cases which leaves you with a very thick, top heavy case on a thin strap. I like the look of Luminors occasionally on canvas and I only wear my Radiomir on leather.

I really enjoy my 104 on the canvas strap. I have gotten it soaked a few times and it still looks great. I also feel that it will age well.
