Panerai 024K bracelet and strap options

A couple of choices.
The oem bracelet is from a PAM 299.
The nylon strap is from Ted Su.

I am considering this watch for a trip to Costa Rica in November and bringing both the bracelet and the Ted Su strap.
With the new strap change system that this Panerai uses, changing from the bracelet to the strap takes 60 seconds.

Strap, I find the 24 very heavy on a steel bracelet...

nice. you'll be 'feeding two birds with one crust.'

perhaps the strap for the more adventurous portions of your trip, and the bracelet for poolside and dinner. the bracelet will look great when enjoying some cuban cigars, too.

Personally, they best strap I have ever seen on a 24, was an Original Greg Stevens Designs (Original Crazy Horse Strap).



But the bracelet looks great too. I just wish you could put the original bracelet on it :(

Bracelet.

I must say, I was a bit disappointed in my Ted Hsu dive strap. A thin piece of the plastic stopper in the buckle sheared off. I know he includes an extra plastic piece, but the first broke after only a week or so of off / on wearing.

Strap! The bracelet doesn't look "right" with it... It's not bad, just that it doesn't appeal to me as much...
