New OEM straps for my 024.
Hey guys, I just picked up a few straps from the AD the other day. Rivetta gold, Assolutamente (mouthful), and the JV.

Asso looks best IMO but I wouldn't want to get any of those wet. It's a 24... You need a waterproof strap.

Would getting them wet ruin the strap?

Haha, yes I do have the rubber strap for water duty. Thanks, I agree Asso looks really cool. I bought the JV strap before I realized you had one for sale...but too late.

Thanks all!! I really dig the Asso and Jules Verne straps.

Surface moisture will stain them. Diving with them will destroy them.

Thanks, the JV is really nice. No more straps for now, at least not OEM. :)
Will go aftermarket like Nishant said.

Great piece and I'm loving it so much. I had the 351 and 268 before they didn't get as much wrist time as this one.

Thanks all for the compliments!

Thought I would include this pic of my 024 on an OEM panerai carbon fiber strap, sporty and comfy.

Nice strap. Why is there so much space between watch case and strap? Is it the strap?
