Just picked up my second JV (deployant to compliment the buckle one), which is my third nubuck strap, to go with my two rubber straps, the ted su straps, the four other OEM straps and a couple of others, is there any hope that i'll stop trawling paneristi and ebay for straps, i only have one panerai, why do i need so many straps for it

londonbagpuss · 16 April 2009, 05:31 AM

Lol, because you have great taste and like to mix things up!

Just think, you have this to look forward too, you'll need matching straps for the handbags

WatchTimes · 16 April 2009, 05:58 AM

With the 233 you don't need any other Panerai!

I found that out the hard way.

Buy straps and you always have a new look.

Its addictive but really can be fun!

I have a strap out of a baseball glove for baseball games and one
out of a football for football games.

londonbagpuss · 16 April 2009, 07:11 AM

^^ Oh dear, that is very true!! Its going to be a fun ride thats for sure!

GBJIV · 16 April 2009, 07:53 AM

Guys, I am deep in trouble with the straps... I actually need to do a clean out... I really enjoy the strap game. To think. I have had a PAM since 2004 and only started buying straps in the past 5 months or so... Glad I didn't start earlier. I would have a million of them.

argee1977 · 16 April 2009, 08:04 AM

Straps are fun

Nica64 · 16 April 2009, 10:49 AM

Straps is the name of the game with Panerai, I love fact that I change the look of my watch at any time.

Anybody order a short strap yet? I know Don sells them. Was gonna pick up a couple so the wife could wear one (under strict supervision of course)

She smacks her watches around without a care in the world, usually on the side of my car when opening the door...

argee1977 · 17 April 2009, 01:55 AM

The short straps are only about 7mm shorter than the standards, so if the wife has a wrist size of 6" or less i'd seriously avoid them, there is a ladies size which is 98/68 which makes it a total of 24mm shorter which sounds good for 5"-6" wrists.

DON (the strapmaker has an interesting assortment of ladies straps. Might be worth checking out. Get his site from P.com - Straps...

JF23 · 17 April 2009, 02:08 AM

Gracias amigo!

Launch Mini · 17 April 2009, 02:37 AM

Joe, what watch does your wife wear?
Might have a Greg Stevens that would work for her, if she doesn't mind thicker strap.
I have 6.75" wrist, and there is not enough tail for me :(
If you don't mind me giving your wife a little tail

JF23 · 17 April 2009, 03:01 AM

Too funny John. Thanks for the offer. Now that I have the Zero I was contemplating letting her occasionaly wear the 111. She has really tiny wrists though...

Launch Mini · 17 April 2009, 03:10 AM

My wife wears the OEM straps on the last or second to last hole, with her 219. So pretty tiny too.
Have you considered a white dial 40mm for her?
I just ordered her an LV strap from Rob Montana for her 219. Pretty sure that will be her favourite strap. She has almost as many straps as I do. Might even have more now that I add them up.

The LV Strap was $199, buckle & shipping included

JF23 · 17 April 2009, 03:26 AM

Cool that you guy's share in the addiction John. My wife really likes the white dialed PAM's too.

argee1977 · 17 April 2009, 09:54 PM

My god, you're seriously thinking of wasting valuable watch fund money on a watch, for the wife

Can't you just buy her some perfume or a handbag and put that funding into a nice PAM for yourself
