can you clarify what type of design difference there is for "new" oem rubber straps from Pam? Presume you're talking about the conventional ones that spell out "OFFICINE PANERAI" sideways, rather than the accordion style ones seen on the submersibles.
I know in the mid 2000s, the oem rubber's catcher was actually "stitched" - whereas now they're one-piece catchers, which I presume to be more durable. (the stitched one i had came apart many moons ago)
further, it seems that some were made in Italy, some were made in Austria. Any other differences along the history of the oem rubber?
