Hey guys, looking for a great place to buy some aftermarket panerai straps.. I can buy online or local.

The best aftermarket straps for your Panerai are Dirk straps and Mario Paci, TC straps are solid also.

Here is a link to TC straps, they are also the US distributor for Mario Paci.

There are tons of other cheaper machine made straps that will do the job, but you get what you pay for.

I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much from Micah as they are mass produced and machine stitched, but the quality is amazing and this is one of my favorite straps.

My good friend Micah hand cuts his straps with a straightedge and machine stitches his straps. He knows what he is doing Plus he is an ex-Rolex junkie

I just got my Micah straps earlier this week and I really, really like them. Dont think they're mass produced; had to wait 2 weeks for mine. I got a plainsman and brindle (pictured)

Mass produced in the fact that it is his only job. They are hand made, but they are NOT hand stitched for sure. You can see a video of him using his special American made vintage sewing machine to complete his straps.

All that said, I'm saying how surprised I was and how much I like them. Would definitely recommend Micah a ton!

Thanks for all the replies!

Most of what I have seen, are more casual peices..

Anyone know a good site for more for a dressy strap.. its for a radiomir, so i want to get something to wear with my suits as well, something with no contrast stitching and a strap that tapers.

I saw many great casual straps can't even begin to think of which one to get lol!

These guys make some real nice dressy straps but they cost a few bucks;

Yeah im on ABP now, its so hard to go custom so many options lol!

thanks for the site

garGARgar 5 November 2011 05:15 AM

If I were to go dressy, I'd probably go with an OEM gator. That's if...doubt I will.

jcourant 5 November 2011 06:09 AM

I second this one...Eliott at TC straps is awesome, so good to work with, lifetime guarantee on the straps. I got a Mario Paci strap for my PAM 250 and love it! Great quality, made in Italy and very fitting for this brand. Happy hunting!
