Just got this one in the mail from my favorite strap maker, the brown with tan stitch really brings out the tobacco dial and gold hands.

I have found that the 351 looks great on many different straps, but the darker brown really works for me.

Really looks nice!

Mario Paci has the best aftermarket straps for Pams IMHO. The variety or colors and fit and finish is unmatched, and it's all handmade work.

I also picked up a light grayish strap but my wife is going to give it to me on my B Day in a couple of months. She would not let me see it but she had a huge smile on her face and said that it might be her favorite strap I have ever had, I think it will be amazing and I can't wait.

As many of you know he was the lead strapmaker for Panerai for decades. He still makes straps from vintage hides that came on Pams decades ago, no one else even has this old leather. You pay for it but the quality is unmatched.

Thanks for the replies guys. I wish I could capture the true color and the way it looks with the tobacco dial, my photo skills are just horrible.

Nice. I have a 351 on the way :)

dddrees · 5 August 2011, 08:02 AM

Looks real nice, Great combo.

I agree with you on Mario Paci, after reading the history of his work with panerai and being the OEM supplier of straps from 1938-1997 it was a no brainer to go with these quality straps for your panerai. I have over 15 straps from this maker and they do not disappoint. Love the Anacaro and if the light grey is the one I have ( don't want to spoil it for your birthday) you will love it. Enjoy!!! Looks great.

Thanks Joe, I am excited to get it. When the straps arrived I told my wife to pull out the brown one and she did. She then reached into the bag and looked at the light grey and you could tell she thought it was fantastic. She said that this will soon be your favorite strap, I hope she is right. I am planning on wearing it on my 111, I think it will be a amazing and different look than all the other 111 combo's you see on the forums.

great combo!

really digging Mario Paci's stuff. thanks for posting. i'm new to PAMs and didn't realize the history behind MP either.

The 351 is my favorite watch. It is my most versatile and dynamic. Quite unique.
I have been a loyal Greg Stevens strap fan. Only after I got a nice combo strap did I fall in love w the 351.

I will check out Paci.

Enjoy your 351 as much as I do!

SaddleSC · 5 August 2011, 11:28 AM

Looks great Trevor! I recently bought a Micah Terra that looks very similar, except with a more matte appearance. I love dark brown with contrast stitching on the PAMs. Well done.

dalip · 5 August 2011, 02:07 PM

Great combination Trevor -

skyedog · 5 August 2011, 02:13 PM

very nice! Congrats!

bcacncnc · 5 August 2011, 03:24 PM

I only have one strap from Mario Paci, but must honestly say, its a little "rough". It was the "Private Stock" model from memory... although I love the softness of the leather. Wraps on the wrist like a glove.

Cru Jones · 5 August 2011, 08:00 PM

wow, perfect combo. really looks great with the watch, and the strap just looks great, period.

texex91 · 5 August 2011, 10:10 PM

I really like that strap. Thanks a lot, now I have to add it to my 351 strap list

mfer · 6 August 2011, 03:42 AM
