It is just a vicious cycle...
...if I am not obsessing about what watch is next, which I am not at all at this given moment, then it is what straps I can add to the collection. At one point I got down to about 10, not counting the OEM duplicates, but now I am back up to close to 25 with two more due in this week.
Oh well, Andie is happy since she likes the watches in the rotation right now and the straps take longer to add up than the watches. Here are some of the latest..... Nylon with leather backing, totally waterproof and totally comfortable!! ![]() black with tan stitch nubuck strap that is softer than hot buttah! ![]() Gotta love the bracelet, even though these are strap watches, MHO. ![]() Superb black croc with white stitch. AWESOME!! All of these are Molina straps (not the bracelet) that I bought from a buddy in Canada, they are really good and priced very well. ![]()

I have a call in to my AD about the FIVER. She will call me tomorrow.
I am thinking about the 005, the 000 or 110. She needed to check with " the boss" about whether I could leave "one" deposit for whichever of the 3 is the first to arrive. ![]() ![]()

Very nice, D. Tough choice as to which I like best, but I think it comes down to the white stiching croc strap. Unlike JJ, I'm not partial to the bracelet on the Pams, at least on those two.

I'll have to agree with those that state that Panerai is a strap watch.
![]() Love the croc with stiching mate!

When I had my PAM111 I kept buying straps. Had 10 in short order. I liked the watch, but not enough to keep it when the time came to thin the herd.

My preference on the straps is the contrasting stitching.
I have changed mine a couple times, but I'm always afraid of scratching the case. Will get more comfortable with experience.

![]() I too like contrasting stitch, but on sport straps, I like a matching stitch.

Good advice Daren. Thanks
BTW, I just got off the phone. The deposit is down. ![]() Now I just wait. Apparently this is the end of 2005 production & the 2006 are out in April. So not sure how long my wait will be. ![]()

They were very good at the AD. There policy is One deposit on one watch.
But they will call when any of the 000,005 or 112 show up. I feel like a kid in a car " Are they there yet?" ![]() She said they do have a special edition, white gold one in for a mere $27,000 cdn ![]() To quote Al " I don't think so Tim" ![]()
